I think this is one of those UK/US differences - they’re using “education” here primarily to refer to private K-12 schooling, not college/university. Here the differences are already opening up much too widely before kids even get to places you can “choose” your own education
screenshot from linked article: The study showed that a BAFTA-nominated actor is five times more likely to have attended a private school, while 43% of prominent classical musicians went to an independent school, six times greater than average. Alongside class inequalities in creative workers, researchers’ findings highlighted the importance of higher education as a route into that workforce. While 20% of UK working-class individuals in any employment have a degree, working-class people in creative jobs were three times as likely to have been to university. Over two-thirds of those in key creative occupations, such as actors, dancers, artists and writers, were found to have a degree, compared to 26% of the entire workforce, which researchers said reinforced an indication of inequalities in the pipeline for the creative sector.

Crisp autumnal sun
Long noon shadows skim the rails
Dull under live wires
