Another nit about drivers’ licenses (full disclosure: I don’t have one, and I live in the USA): from what I’ve seen, drivers’ license as an indicator of “real world success” is a very American phenomenon. Anecdotally, the Europeans I’ve encountered seem significantly less likely than Americans of the same age to have licenses on average, nor is there a stigma (or as much of a stigma) associated with not having one.
