School fees!

An old Hackneyed Myth unfortunately...

Not for my children who now have jobs obtained through contacts that had they relied on their academic qualifications they would never have even got an interview..

[sasguru]

I think I should add, that being mere IT Consultants, we're also very much at the bottom of the social structure of the schools as well; if you think you've a few bob, wait until you get to see the kids dropped off.

Don't make assumptions or talk about things you know nothing about.
Firstly, there's a reason why we live where we live and can afford to live here.
Secondly I went to public school and the connections made there are still immensely useful.

HTH, BIDI.

It also depends on the field you're going into.

For example, if you were to go into law, then your qualifications may get you in, but it can be very much an "Old Boys" club, especially for barristers.

It doesn't help sas, for you're a man living in a fantasy world, as you kindly demonstrate here year on year, so your opinion is worth nothing

You live in Wandsworth, not Fitzrovia; I have a friend who is a contractor packaging applications who has a grand house in Wandsworth. It's not all that.

If you were half the man you pretend to be sas, you'd not:
a) Be on here night and day
b) Abuse anyone who disagrees with you
c) Have to tell everyone just how successful you are.

You, incorrectly, assume I didn't go to private school.

Still having trouble with the GCHQ quiz sas, you genius you.

I dare say that's true. But stats bods? Come now, stop poking me in the ribs.

Not one that you would want to shout about

I live in Surrey not Wandsworth. You're right the Toast Rack is quite modest.
Believe what you want, chicken farmer.
PS What insignificant little school did you attend?

Again, you'd be wrong. But unlike sas, I don't feel the need to shout about it. **** me, I have contracting friends who have been doing it since they left school in the 80's who are rolling in moolah. A friend went to Bath Uni, did Maths, got into Sun and bought a 4 bed house in Kensington, in 1992. He's more money than sas could wave a stick at. He's from Westbury, went to John O'Gaunt in Trowbridge (MF would know the ghastly old place). It just makes me giggle sas, and it would appear you, talk like this old network thing opens doors all the time; if sas was the coont he is in here, the only doors opened for him, will be in pizza hut.

I lived in Reigate, a large old pile, sold for a fortune. So what? Why do you have to pretend it's something it isn't?

Turkey farmer I prefer.

Nice school, well above your level sas, as mine actually exists and not just as in a figment of my fertile imagination, as yours would appear so.

What marks you out, to not be the person you want to be, is these remarks sas. I don't, genuinely don't care about who you pretend you are, I find ti funny, as the more you pretend, and the way you act, marks it more, and more, improbable you are. It's funny. If you were, as I said, half the person you purport to be, you'd be nothing like you are.

Ouch! Yowzer!

I thought you were a man of means, yet here you are whinging about investing in your kids future.

Anybody would think you're a bullsh!tter the way you carry on.
