  Each year perhaps millions of young people face the following dilemma: should
I continue my education or rather start working with already acquired skills.
Right decision must take into account somebody's own abilities, accessibility
to education institutions, competition, and potential benefits. A multi-agent,
evolutionary model of this dilemma predicts a transition between stratified and
homogeneous phases, evolution that diminishes fitness, fewer applicants per
seat for decreased capacity of the university, and presence of poor students at
\'elite universities.
