RICH in terms of the mentality of the general public in HK, and China). <br /><br />Do 8A's in CE, DSE, 5A's in ALE, first class honoured degree, etc. help you climb up the ladder? Or to be more precise, do all these help you get a decent job with good prospect? But a RICH PARENT with good social network and all the connections DOES! See what I mean? <br /><br />Even a good, talented, bright and well-educated graduate would not get the starting point which a rich man's son get! <br /><br />...... <br /> <br />*SIGH* <br /> <br />Of course the poorer children have their competitive edges, but the society is still very unfair to them!Frostighttp://www.xanga.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949098913149785403.post-58254195456070649372010-11-25T20:00:09.788+08:002010-11-25T20:00:09.788+08:00"不敢說全無道理,但肯定不是道理的全部。"
