Men of Good Fortune

I was going to type something about people from poor backgrounds not really having a chance when competing with rich kids who went to Cambridge and Oxford, and whether there was any point in me trying at all, but here is a Lou Reed song

I feel this encapsulates how I feel... I worked really hard at education...Men of good fortune
often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings
often can't do anything at all


All I got from university and being a translator was meeting a bunch of rich kids... The whole thing just made me really bitter.
