Default Experiment

Theory: Rational based people with few resources would not choose a flying or similar career when given the opportunity no matter how fun it was.

Test: Ask a blue collar worker a question.

If you were to win 200K in the lottery would you; buy a house, invest in the stock market or spend it and most of a decade in school, training and low wage experience building jobs in order to get to a position that pays 60K (or slightly more than they are currently earning)?

I don't want to spoil your results by telling you what I have found.
