It's mostly the fact that the child of two professionals likely has a higher level of "social capital" than children in other situations. Greater financial means, assumed expectations of college attendance, access to role models who are also professionals, access to referrals for job opportunities, internships, references, etc. It's a cycle that repeats itself.....

I do not completely agree
I live in a very diverse community and Asian students work very hard. They seem to not have much of a financial adavantage over others in area. They have very driven structure to study from parents.

Agreed. Of course there's also the opposite. Successful kids from unsuccessful parents.I have also seen kids of very bright successful people be ...... let's say not motivated
They have been gifted w much monetary possessions and lifestyle that they will never be able to maintain. So they just never tried
So much is up to the child.
