In Latin America, many people take on masters and PhD while living with their parents. You are often seen as smarter than the idiot who's working.
In Latin America a very small minority of young people even get to go to a proper academic institution and not just a quasi-degree mill college. For those going to somewhat reputable institutions with post-tertiary programs it's another small minority that gets to a masters degree, with even fewer getting into a doctorate track...
Quantify "many people" because it's absolute bullshit it's any kind of representative cohort of the population with the means to achieve this.

LINTON I’m sorry if it troubles you that our people achieve excellence at a young age... By the way, your prime minister informs me that he’s tasked you with collating some fresh British intel for us.
MALCOLM Yeah, apparently your f*ing master race of gifted toddlers can’t quit get the job done in between breast feeds and playing with their power rangers.
If you do a BSc in Math in Europe and you have some olympiad creds, you have a good shot of joining Optiver or similar, and go from there.
