>>20836634Pic rel is about what you where looking for. On paper it might seem true even percentage wise, but once you account for the cost of living and how much you're going to have left over the upper middle class would be best off.
>why don't people do this Because anyone could claim that obviously.
>they'll go with the cheaper option, assuming you don't differ qualitativelyYeah they're gonna pay me less even though there'd be no difference. But even that is wishful thinking, when applying for a job they won't exam you any further, they see your diploma and kniw you've passed all examinations and have the knowledge they are looking for.

>whether their advantage stems from a privileged background, higher intelligence or something elseThe whole idea is about nobody having an advantage in the first place.....
>finally, your points still don't justify stealing You didn't answer my question
