If you chose to seek a low paying profession thats your choice.. High paying proffesions aren't luck they're the result of hard work and climbing tall ladders... In australia we all have to oppertunity to be educated and make something of ourselves.. We even have HEX which means we can pay our uni fee's later in life.... Many of the millionaires I know came from blue collar families or poor families... The choices we make determine the kind of lives we live.. (think that was on a movie )
We're about to get too off topic, but if you actually believe that everyone here is born equal and with the same choices then you're sorely mistaken. You actually think people make a conscious decision to be low income earners? Like there's a red and a blue pill you can take, one will put you on the path to riches and the other will keep you earning under 50k a year? Please show me where I said luck had anything to do with one's income.
I come from a family of high earners so I know how hard one has to work to become better off and of course people can work out of negative circumstances, but this is a very multifaceted issue and to say it's merely a person's choice to be poor or rich is very ignorant indeed.
BTW there's more to university fees than HECS.
