State Educated Alumni Careers Help
So I've come to the horrible realisation that privately educated and wealthy students have a huge advantage in careers even at the same uni, same course.
For example a coursemate (STEM @ top 10 uni) of mine had relatives at Goldman and one of the big 4 and got references to both for spring weeks. Dad also was a consultant for a big 4.
Another one had their mum get them an internship at Amex before uni. Many have school friend connections at hedge funds.
Meanwhile I have no family connections, no school connections, etc. My school gave me awful work experience on a construction site. Great. They didn't inform anyone of SEO London, the Brokerage, upReach, etc. Incompetent.
How do I help my school and other poor state educated students?
