The competition can be pretty cruel, when 9 billion people fight over the resources of a planet, which is layed out to give home to 2 billion. What you are experiencing is just one of many side effects: Corruption, natural resources depleting 4x faster than they regrow, drug related crimes, fake politics, over polluting, lobbyism.
My sister applied for a place at the university for a study as a doctor. She's intelligent over average, but they would only offer a place to 100 out of 5.000 applicants and didn't take her. So today's youth is desperate, even if she had been accepted that would mean 8 years of study, then 4 more years taking specialist courses, for the reward of beeing able to rent a 3-room flat in 12 years from now?? The world would be even more over-populated than today, and even if everyone agreed, that she deserved better than that, the planet just wouldn't be big enough to feed more.
