It's pretty low, but getting better. The well educated can still make a good living. The way I see it, in the UK even well paid professionals can no longer afford houses, the average is £290,000 and that's at record low interest rates (this is a dire situation as we're entering a period of rising rates and it won't take much for people's debt costs to double, simple arithmetic). Western economies are stacked with debt, demographics are shot to pieces. It's easy for me to provide good, well furnished safe homes and motor cars from the get go, so the kids are never in debt and have a great quality of life. I couldn't do that in the UK. This is only possible through present Western hegemonic power, so long as it lasts.

I saw a report recently saying that UK students are now coming out with the highest debts. Even more than the US!
Good job we live in neither country. University is around 20,000 Baht (£400) a semester. A good starter home around 1.5 million Baht (£30,000).

Yet mercifully the last £10k year. This will see me complete, stuffed full and satisfied with tog equipment until the K-1 MkII comes out.
In the coming years I've got three kids to put through college, buy and furnish houses for and provide motor cars . . . list is endless. Good job old Dad can live like a vagrant on scraps.
