I think the idea of what it means to "get ahead" would change. For example, with UBI I'd still work part time at a coffeeshop to save up money to turn my long-time hobby into a small business. That's a way to "get ahead" in a way that personally fulfills me. I don't need to become the next 30 under 30, or show up on some list for my success. Just the personal satisfaction of being able to say "I did this, and I'm proud of it. I hope you can enjoy it too".
Of course, those who do want to show up on that 30 under 30 list can make different choices to get ahead in the way they interpret that meaning.
UBI brings more options for people to dedicate to new ideas, new inventions, new ways of thinking. It doesn't restrict the choices of any citizen, it opens up more choices. Getting ahead still exists, and those who want it can go for it, that option wouldn't be taken away from them.
