If it was, that be even easier to disprove. At no point in history have people been made fabulously wealthy for doing most jobs, or just existing.
Even if that did occur by some miracle, inflation would remove the value of the money. Its the very fact most don't have money that gives it purchasing power. If everyone made a million a year a million a year would be worth $50k today's money.
" This sucks I can't get the multimillionaire jobs" is a child's fantasy argument.
Hell no, its not about "I can't join the top 3%" for most common folk its "I can't join - period!". Even when they go and do their studies and get their certificates.
GStan,
Ocre posted a huge survey with a lot of statistical power that showed the system ISN'T rigged for 94%+ of people.
I posted statistics that showed low unemployment rates for college grads and much higher median salaries.

You're just wrong about this, and you were never close to being right.
I would note it doesn't take university learned research skills to obtain the information necessary to speak intelligently about the topic.
You're on a computer, you know what Google is.
Yet you foolishly say "I will believe what Dave says over government statistics Rollo cites!".
What does that say about how smart you are?
Time to grow up and be an adult GStan.
If you post government statistics or a huge study like Ocre's that is opposite to what I've said, you know what I would post in response?
"Hmmm. I guess I was wrong."
THAT is a key component to intelligence GStan. Being able to learn and admit you were wrong.
