No, I understand your point - it’s not like you are offering a particularly deep insight here.
The problem is that you are taking my original comment too literally. I am not arguing that it is a realistic career path in terms of overall success rates.

I thought you were trying to say it was a realistic way for them to escape poverty when you said it was the only realistic way to escape poverty.
