I am also puzzled why being “upper middle class” is a factor that you feel we should be aware of. Mentioning it tells us that it matters more to you than anyone else.

Also - it would help if you would know that the “e” in Economics is capitalised in your university’s name.

Very low. LSE does not prepare you to become a billionaire. If money is what you are striving for rather than expertise in your chosen field, market awareness, risk taking and success - other than financial- you will likely fail to achieve such a meaningless goal.

It is reported that President-elect Donald Trump meets with the TikTok CEO Shou Chew at Mar-a-Lago. Will TikTok take a turn for the better?

Not a good sign in a mature adult. Hopefully, you’ll realise this by the time you start to decide on a career.
