its not about what you know, but who you know.

i have a liberal arts degree from a pretty respectable state uni, and right now im working retail and pretty miserable. i have no connections. none of my friends are powerful enough to get me entry level jobs considering i have no experience. now, im fairly certain i couldve gotten the same job i have without even a high school degree, but having the piece of paper gives me hope that i wont be doing this forever. without it id put myself in a fucking noose eventually im sure.

as far as the OP is concerned if youre rich, take solace in the fact that no matter what you do youre at an advantage by default.
