The swimmingpool scene in the film "The Graduate" explains, a lot, why the children of the wealthy are succcessful on their own right. Benjamin is out of college. Hasn't yet chosen a career. The swimmingpool party is to celebrate his graduation. He's congratulated by one of his father friend, who tell him: "Benjamim, Just one word: 'Plastics' " (it was the late 60s.) That scene explains, a lot, why children of the wealthy, by their own devices, will be wealthy too. Being a children of wealthy people has several benefits: You get advice even without being asked on how to be successful in a sector that is booming.

The Graduate is an illustrative film. Pity I can't rent tonight and watch it once again under this perspective.
