I am also puzzled why being “upper middle class” is a factor that you feel we should be aware of. Mentioning it tells us that it matters more to you than anyone else.

Very low. LSE does not prepare you to become a billionaire. If money is what you are striving for rather than expertise in your chosen field, market awareness, risk taking and success - other than financial- you will likely fail to achieve such a meaningless goal.

Also - it would help if you would know that the “e” in Economics is capitalised in your university’s name.

Not a good sign in a mature adult. Hopefully, you’ll realise this by the time you start to decide on a career.
