I am not saying anything about "worth of a person", I don't believe it is even a thing.

All I know that children (and many adults too) do similar thing that their peers do. So if I want to increase the chance that my child will graduate from high school, they should be around people who will graduate from high school. Similarly, if no one in their class will go to college, the chances they will go to college will be smaller.

Note there are exception to the each rule, and I am talking about "chances", not certainties.
