    It is Scandinavia. I’ve never heard of anyone working working night jobs to make ends meet or support their parents, because social welfare is excellent. I had a few classmates in Uni whoms parents paid for everything, but one dropped out because they weren’t motivated enough.

    Most took a student loan so the government paid for half of the expenses through the grant that comes with the student loan, and because the rates of the loan is less than a percent, and the only thing you needed it for was for rent and food, I don’t feel like it was a big obstacle.

    Though I left Scandinavia and moved to Japan before ever getting to work for a large company there so I can’t say who get the higher positions. I doubt it takes multiple generations though.
