Who Gets the Best Jobs? BBC2 12:10am

Richard Bilton investigates social equality in Britain and how access to the professions works, discovering that the most desirable jobs are being increasingly taken by a small pool of privileged and well-connected families.

Anyone who is thinking about an internship, or Law or Finance or Fashion will find this programme relevant.

I'd be interested to hear people's experience.

Load of nonsense. Internships, even within fields like IB that target places like Oxbridge and LSE, don't just depend on who your parents are. They depend on your own grades and your ability to perform in interviews.
