I don't think chloe realises that, outside doncaster, getting a huge loan with awful interest rates to buy an estate ****hole isn't the ambition most people have.

I can't believe how much of a massive deal you're making of this, she didn't say it was her "ambition in life", the only point she was making was that there are achievements in life other than getting an education, and she has had her own. Marc's comment was made to belittle those (particularly Danny) who haven't got an education like he does, and she was trying to justify why she thinks that's stupid.
Dunno why you see the need to compare it with Mark's career. I'm working towards becoming a scientist, yet I'm sitting here in a tiny box room in a shared student flat

A mortgage is looking like a pretty great achievement to me (and probably any other wannabe scientist) right now!
