All of those are important though. I've watched affluent kids drop out of school due to a lack of hard work.

I've also seen a lot of rich kids from college turn into poverty-stricken losers; character and work ethic have a lot to do with how well a student does regardless of their family's resources.

Sure, the key is not what individuals do, but statistics.

After all affluent kids have also downright bought degrees and college admission, by paying teachers, having their parents give donations to the school, etc.
