    A Lawyer mate of mine (I don't tell everyone that...) is doing his best to make sure his son gets into law with the goal of doing something to change things. Another guy I know has a son doing a PhD in Political Science so he can get involved in politics and bring about change.

    Different strokes for different folks.
    Unfortunately very true... and tells a story all on its own.

    Good luck to them... I'd imagine such established institutions will have a horribly entrenched ethos when it comes to those that they allow through the doors. The data sharing these days'll likely make that 10 times worse.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Fast tracking is usually quite risky. The rule of thumb is 33% of sequential activities can sometimes be fast tracked.

    What candidates do to "get in the door" and what they do after gaining the final qualification are often very very different things.

    It's called "playing the game" masho. Academia/theory and reality are two sides of the coin.

    Those who can not contribute toward the wealth "through no fault of their own" should be included and looked after by those that can. (welfare share)

    Not really Akzle, we have a handicapped son and appreciate the help that he has received from our (socialist?) welfare system and we don't take it for granted!

    Despite the welfare assistance his education and ongoing care has still cost us a small fortune and we know it is still "our" responsibility and accountability!

    Funny thing is that as parents the privacy laws disconnect us from him and we are literally disenfranchised from any official decision making for him!

    Only the humanity and kindness of his carers keep us in the picture at times!
