I believe not all the rich people have a higher degree. Most of the rich people in our time are school drop off
or they have never been to school that is how they get the motivation to find their way and earn some money for their livelihood
Many rich people get higher education in elite universities because they have everything to facilitate education in any country, so I don't understand why you are saying the opposite of the facts, maybe you are saying to your environment because they are already working at the age of education so they are influenced to make money and neglect education. However, they will regret wasting time to improve knowledge and skills for the mentality to prepare to work in large companies
Agreed, we shouldn't take rich into this.
