1. TFA treats universities as fungible, when it is a truth universally acknowledged that most colleges won't open any particularly interesting doors. (the ones that do are a handful to a dozen which vary depending upon one's interests)

2. The upper class still has yachts, backyard tennis courts, and polo ponies. The $300 cotton T-shirts and $400 sweatpants are for the working class.

where: working class - needs a job / middle class - has enough property to do without a job for few years, but couldn't maintain their lifestyle without an income / upper class - their property provides their income

alternatively: working class - acquires things whose TCO doesn't involve external employment / middle class - acquires things whose TCO involves fractions of an FTE / upper class - acquires things whose TCO requires multiple FTEs
