And I'm guessing that, for the first few years on the job, it'd basically be your post-secondary education? Seeing how high school probably wouldn't prepare you for, say, being a doctor or what-not. Also, that getting promoted (thus being able to get moar earnings than what your Deep Ground profile would originally allow you to get) is also possible?

Something like that. That's when you get your "On the job education" of sorts. And yeah, promotions are possible. Generally one COULD work their way from the bottom rung to the top even if their initial Deep Ground results put them at the bottom. There's just less hoops and much easier for someone who did succeed very well in Deep Ground, as oppose to one who didn't and had to work harder after they graduated. If promotions were point based, those who did well in Deep ground would start at 100 and earn 10 from work, while those who didn't do so well start at 0 and only get 1 from work. And the score to become the big boss is 1000. It's a system that rewards the elites with better rewards while the non-elite have to struggle until they too earn the title of elites. Ya know, Social Class and what not.
