Private school and Russell group university

I went to UCL and work for a prestigious company in a relatively high paying role. My boss’s boss, went to one of the worst unis in the country and is quite young.

As someone who goes to a private school, most of the people ik didn’t even get into a top university!! It’s about the person and not the school. Ofc we had more help as less students are in classes, but we didn’t have the same drive and focus as people in state schools who went off to top unis 🤷🏻*♀️ sad but true.
Main thing is experience & hard work, that’s for sure.

Many actors, tv personalities etc had family money behind them. These are tough fields to get into if you need to earn a living when starting out. People with family money often go to private schools. The private school part isn't very significant here.

I second this - it's all about the family money.

Maybe in the TV and film industry, or where the parents own a company that their kids can work for. Having money and family connections is not going to get you a job in the city though, say for a large bank, law, insurance firm etc.

It will though if you have family money your father or mother or uncle or whoever most likely has some form of connections which are extremely important in banking and corporate law
