This thread seems meaningless to me.

I replied only because of u. I am local graduate + working oversea too.

Most of university graduates, doing normal unless exceptional good in corporate ladder.

BUT I do know many people, earning exceptional well > RM 500k running own business, with only secondary school education.

The top 20% rich? Earning > RM 60k monthly.

This thread put me off big time !

I don't know what's the purpose of this thread.

If it is trying to say people make small money and buy big properties, present the facts in local data/context and then we can discuss.

If it is trying to say oversea graduates make more money than local graduates, that's quite a sweeping statement.

If it is trying to say :- make more money is higher social class, it stings big time! How can we equate income with social class ? Ah loong and drug traffickers and so on make more money than us, are they higher in social class ?

the purpose of this thread is to

1) let yourself evalute are you one class but you are staying in another class
2) if you are lower class why you are lower? what are those higher? how to achieve those higher? what are the normal higher people are like?
3) if you are a father like me. If you are in working class. You don't want to let your son remain working class. Now you now how you can try to help your son to move up to higher class.

But there is a big flaw in the word "social class". Ok you can say you want to make more income, and you to be rich. But do not associate high income and more money with "higher social class" ! It stings !

well.

I am not going to comment on the social class morally right or wrong. this is not my purpose.

I am using the social class to learnt one things. To help my children move up or to give my son opportunity to move up and at the same time to avoid my son become a lower social class.

For heaven sake please don't use the word "social class". Just use higher income group if you like.

This trick of associating higher income with higher "social class" should be stopped, banned and condemned !

It's like saying people who do free social services and earns very low income, you can find so many examples of them in this country and in the world, and then these people are lower in "social class". Ghee ....

Not going to comment the social class wording if it is ok or not ok.  go this wiki for more if u so interest on this wording things  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class

U may leave this thread if you are not happy with "social class" wording.

But you are always welcome on discussion on  the main purpose of this thread.

But I have the "social responsibility" of stopping people worshiping money. I cannot bear/take it if people equate money with social class and status.

I like to ask we don't go on and on on the education ok?

I am not saying " u get ur education does equate to your success"

I am saying most 99% gradute from elite university is success.

none elite university not even can get 99% of them success

that's the different.
