Answer 1

The relationship of level of educational degree and the level of income is least surprising. This is because in modern world the cost of basic education has increased drastically. increased cost of education demands a good source of income to heir schools and colleges. If the level of income of a family is low it will result in minimal educational degree rather the one with a high income can seek higher educations easily.

For example: A child of farmer or carpenter will gain an educational degree of 12th class and may then switch on to some vocatinal studies. But a child of a doctor or engineer will gain a post graduation degree.

This relationship between level of educational degree is also inversely proportional to the level of income. The person with a higher educational degree will be posted in a higher posts in institutions whereas a man with low level of education will have a job accordingly. The job allotment in any institution is based on the fulfillment of educational level required to be competent for the specific post.

For example: A person who have a Post graduation degree in an institution with occupy a managerial post but a person who have completed only matriculation level with be assigned to be a clerk or peon in the same institution.
