Just yesterday I met an old friend from 15 years ago. Bumped into him on the platform in Wimbledon and he's a train conductor. He earns more than a lot of people we hung around with and lives his job cause he just reads books all day. How did he do it? Incredible focus brought on from having kids. Before that he freely admits he had no drive. He has no gcses either. Good on him

Going to school as a child is free. Adult education for the large part isn't. My sister is doing a CIPD, which is costing several hundred pounds.

The reason people don't have those jobs is because they don't have the qualifications or ability. Last I looked schooling is free and upto recently university was on loan from the government.
Again, it's not really about individuals but social circumstances in general.mk64 wrote:JonB. I disagree totally. Feel free to give me an example. Yours if its the case.
