Always do study at a university which has an influential alumnus.
Networking helps more than anything else when you are looking for a job or an opportunity to undertake a startup.
Please, be mindful of the fact that degree is just a decorative sketch framed for the walls.
Listening to a speech given by Late #Lee #Kuan Yew,
where he was advising undergrads about the paths they should pursue in 1994.
For Mr Lee, the #Oxbridge epoch was well over back in the 90s.
The #Yanks and their universities dominate the global corporate world and job networks.
The most interesting aspect of this speech made by then Minister Mentor Lee was that he encouraged Far-Eastern Asian Students such as the Singaporeans to do a first degree in Electrical Engineering and later back it up with an Ivy League #MBA.
What superb advice it was!

1. torno ancora sul racconto di @antoguerrera dei consulenti del governo di #BorisJohnson che accetta l'ipotesi del contagio di milioni di inglesi per arrivare all'immunitร  di gregge. Ci torno perchรฉ mi preme. E come ripeto NON ho alcuna competenza medica
2. raramente le decisioni sociali sono il frutto di una scienza ideologicamente neutra. E se sei un governo di persone che crescono tra #Eton e #Oxbridge difficilmente cresci pensando che gli esseri umani siano tutti uguali.
3. se sei abituato al privilegio, ai superuomini di #Eton e #Oxbridge, difficilmente guarderai gli esseri umani come tutti uguali. Difficilmente riuscirai perfino a vedere i deboli, i poveri. Saranno come gli alberi del paesaggio: uno sfondo a cui rarissimamente presti attenzione

Having writer's block so exploring another train of thought. A recent conversation had me talking about the inequalities in #kampungOxford, where I had to reassure someone that which college you're in doesn't matter; that we curate our own Oxford experience. Thread.
There is no denying the prestige that comes with being an #Oxbridge student. But similar to my past experience of having been to the best all-girls boarding school in Malaysia at age 13, this is where you realize that your intelligence and self worth had to face up to: money.
The inequality between the haves and the have nots are stark. Yes, you are all 'chosen' to be educated at the best place, well - the best university in the world in Oxford's case - but your Oxford experience, your clique, your network - are influenced by how much money you have.
