But these students are all thinking for the party, towing the party line! I have not heard one remark, comment; retort from any of them, that questions the system may have some flaws. But why would they question the system? It is by playing the system that they are where they are today. <br />So their parents have become stable enough to provide them with a solid foundation for a future education, ensuring they achieve the “right” marks to gain them entry to the “right” university, so they can get the “right” degree. I have asked some of them “why are they doing law”, their response “ my mark was high enough”. Do these people have no soul? I am not suggesting that all of us can find our true calling and happiness in our careers. But it appears at least at this point in time that many are willing to forgo that shot of happiness by ensuring they their class has the hand on the wheel. Some professions still belong to the white middle upper class.Trenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244457017658314907noreply@blogger.com
