You are where you live! .....?

Check this out.

A recent research by a korean government agency found out the following correlation:

1.Yearly income is positively correlated to level of college graduated.

2.Level of college graduated is positively correlated to one's score on the national academic ability test (kind of like the SAT, but not really).

3.Score is positively related to level of High School graduated.

4.In Korea, where you go to school is decided by where you live.

5.Therefore, Income is positively correlated to the relative prosperity of WHERE YOU LIVE!!!

This may sound obvious to you, but in a tiny country like Korea where you can drive from one side of the country to the other in 5 hours, this IS a big deal.

Isn't this kind of sad?
