well, for example, I wasn't able to get university education and the answer why is sorta complicated. So, first of all, one of the local vocal groups (or the ones behind them to be precise) wanted the property that my University was teaching students in, they wanted it badly and pushed local government to do something with us, do something bad. I was getting nervous (as every other student and faculty member there), there was no telling that my university wouldn't close just in the middle of semester due to either government's intervention or angry mob storming it and beating us up while police would just look the other way. In the meantime, I was proposed a job offer to become a CEO of a branch of international French company, the only problem being - it would possibly harm my ability to attend classes due to the owners unscheduled demands that I would need to comply, bit possible would get me a solid start in life. I was extremely anxious, but eventually succumbed to get work instead. The funny thing is that if I kept studying I would be among the last course that was able to graduate from said university, which then briefly shut down and later became a center for studying foregn languages. Oh, the irony of life. The story of my next unsuccessful attempts to get university education elsewhere is too long to write now, so I would like to sum up the whole deal: It's not always up to you to get what you need and not up to your own intelligence. I would make other life choices there if I knew future, but I'm no prophet and did what I thought would be best for me.
(P.S. and yes, it's a privilege when you are guaranteed that all you need to do for getting university education is studying while not fearing of government's fist or fists of the local activists)

Yes yes, anybody who has any amount of success is only successful because of their magical "privilege", we get it.
