Capitalism has lots of opportunities for smart people to create wealth. It's hard to just be a "worker" or "researcher", but if you are smart and determined you should be able to create a business that makes the whole world richer.

I do agree though there is a lot of wasted talent and effort.

That requires lots of risk that may not be feasible to students funding their education with debt, and with skills in spaces that have regulatory overhead.
