Not a good sign in a mature adult. Hopefully, you’ll realise this by the time you start to decide on a career.

I am also puzzled why being “upper middle class” is a factor that you feel we should be aware of. Mentioning it tells us that it matters more to you than anyone else.

Also - it would help if you would know that the “e” in Economics is capitalised in your university’s name.

Let’s say you have 3 separate manuscripts and send 1 of them to 12 different agents (4 read same copy). Now let’s say 2 agents each liked separate manuscripts and want to move forward. What would you do as far as transparency and negotiation?

Very low. LSE does not prepare you to become a billionaire. If money is what you are striving for rather than expertise in your chosen field, market awareness, risk taking and success - other than financial- you will likely fail to achieve such a meaningless goal.
