Are such universities as the Scottish ones (St Andrews and Edinburgh in particular) actually GOOD though? For someone career orientated - and excluding the idea of starting a business - would going to one of these universities for a course like economics ACTUALLY be good enough for a good/high-paying job (80k-ish and above)? Will they make you 'rich' (salary-wise; to be truly rich you've got to be an investor or entrepreneur, and I sure as hell will at least be investing a lot in the stock market in the future. Got to read books on investment and educate myself properly in it first, but I already know certain things).
Or is it that those that go to these universities are already rich ('posh') and have contacts and so on, which means the fact that they aren't at what I think is a TOP Russell Group uni doesn't really matter for them?
In other words, are universities at this sort of tier good for social mobility?
