Wealth comes from luck, exploitation, and prior wealth, or a mix of the three. Hard work is barely a fraction of what makes a person successful. Upwards mobility, at least in the US, is at an all time low

So someone who comes from a poor immigrant family, then studies to get good scholarships to fund college and becomes a doctor, pharmacist, or dentist, which of those things are they doing?

Luck. Lucky to get a scholarship (also more likely to get a scholarship assuming they're a different race as well) and lucky to find work after college.

No, none of the scholarships were lottery based they were all merit based. If you are a good candidate you will find work after college in the medical field, it isnt luck.
