If you were a frog in a well, how many years would you be willing to lose to jump out of the well?

This question reminds me of many children in impoverished mountainous areas. In some extremely poor places, it is difficult to even provide food and clothing. Why? The main reason is that the intellectual knowledge is too poor and it is difficult to get out. At the same time, this is also the reason why many people do not hesitate to repeat studies for many years in order to get into college, just to have more opportunities to jump out of the well. Therefore, after reading so many Cases and phenomena, if it were me, I would be willing to spend 5-10 years of my life for a chance to jump out of the well.
