Who Gets the Best Jobs?

Might watch it if it's on iPlayer - or is it just a bunch of daily mail readers blaming society for their life decisions?

No. It's a serious look at what barriers, real or percieved, are getting int the way of social mobility. It presents various points of view, and various ways in which it seems that the professions are becoming less and less accessible to people from backgrounds other than middle or upper class. I certainly found it thought provoking.

In that case I can give it a whirl!

Pretty much I would have said.

I'm sorry but you are clearly a mental midget moron who sobs over failed jobs.

I assume this low grade taunt is because you were tired and covered in alchy vomit.

Or it could be because you have provided ample evidence of not be being the sharpest tool in the box.

It is the inverted snobbery that has become rampant in this country over the last few years manifesting itself. I know about 20 people that have been through a medical degree and I would say about 4 of those are from 'privileged backgrounds'. 2 of them are from the most deprived area in western Europe if you believe the stats.

People fail in this country because they are expected not to succeed. Did you see the family that just decided that university was not for their child when he was about 7 or 8?

Did someone help you with that quip? It was above your usual feckless and uninteresting standards.

Wasn't a quip.
HTH.

He also doesn't have any 1960's DVD's to watch.

Didn't know they had DVDs in the 60's

Waching it again as I missed the first ten minutes.

"Oh Lawyers, CEOs and Doctors earn tulip loads"

Then they go and interview 10 people in the fashion industry.



Straight to the heart of the matter there.
