I don't know. Every grandma who got an education in the 70s is doing extremely well right now, much better than lotterying into a house that cost $15,000 and is now worth $1.5m. If you got an education as a doctor, you got a lot more money than that $1.5m (and then, when you sell, you still need a house, and prices have risen everywhere you want to live), but more importantly, you were educated!
I feel for the grandmas who want to live in the same place forever and also did not get educations so were left behind. It was a complicated time. Everyone deserves a community, but maybe not the same community.

The guilded professionals are the petite nobility. The parents of the students in these articles: like, they had a choice. They could fund their schools better and they chose not to. And given that same choice, those same students, they are now adults, and again, they choose not to. Which community do you want to be a part of?
