> good education

"Good" education alone is not a meaningful predictor of anything, in Europe at least.

So the guilt is about receiving the correct credentials to be granted further access to jobs and opportunities. It seems in UK/USA, "good education" is used as a euphemism for "received privilege".

Because everyone (or at least, like 40%) in Europe has what I consider to be a great education.

That's not even the same thing. "Education" is a code-word for credentials. Education is "good" insofar as the credentials are exclusive.

It's the pretense of the credentialing organizations to have a monopoly on education.
