I'm not even talking about becoming a millionaire 10 / 1 percenter. But indicators seem to show even staying middle class these days is a struggle.
> “success” in a capitalist society is determined by random chance and backroom dealing, which it plainly is.
There is merit to that.
> You need luck and connections too.
I accounted for this in OP.

> because there are so many stupid and unambitious people who will hand over money to you for doing something they could do themselves or which isn't worth the money.
You'd be surprised at how common this actually is, at least it seems to me. If you're trying it at entrepreneurship and failing, you just aren't tapping the right tap.

> What is it with the rise of people wanting to unambitious and monotonous "jobs" with no growth?
Based on my anecdotal experience this would classify at least 70% of people.
> I get so many Tik Toks with women asking, "What is an easy job I can do at home to make 60k a year? I can't work fast food anymore".
Why would anyone not choose that over 8 hours in an office complex with total surveillance and social corporate power games?
> Do these people not go to college?
No bro, turns outs, not everyone can afford college. No money no time, no sustainable funding. No interest even. Most college degrees are worthless to boot.
> Am I delusional in thinking that it's really not that hard for most people to get an investment banking or big law job just by doing good in school?
There are reports all over the world of mass unemployment among college / university / faculty graduates. 4 years of sucking up Powerpoints does not guarantee a job.
Employers want experienced people they don't have to train, and that can suck up anything, which is what college degrees prove.
Honestly bro based on these questions, you have a lot to catch up to. And time flies and doesn't wait for you. Tap in before they take your soul.
