Governments and big corporates were the main employers, and they look at paper qualifications as the easiest way to find good hires. <br><br>No paper? Take risks and be an entrepreneur. Depends on how big the business becomes, may end up hiring the Grade A paper-qualified to do your accounts and paperwork.

I was wondering how you were able to understand people like me... <br><br>I could be one of your secondary classmates ;)<br><br><br>It's always interesting having a reunion amongst old friends and schools mates. Last year I met up with some primary school mates. Can't imagine that pretty little girl then now has a son 18 in NS already!?<br><br>Then it struck me.
