Luck favors the nepo babys
Oh, no doubt. I'm just saying that the bare minimum you need to "lift yourself up" is education, hunger/drive, and luck. Believe me, I know many privileged little shits.
Yeah even nepo babies have to compete with other nepo babies especially in the upper echelon of their field. They still need to have drive and excel at whatever they are doing. Just look at Formula 1, the sport that is full of rich kids, the driver with the richest dad who even bought a team for his son has never won an F1 race in his life and only has 3 podiums so far while his team mate had several this year alone. And the two drivers with the most world championships wins are from middle class families. While privilege will get them far it won’t carry them to the top.
