Sad reflection of western society where the accumulation, or
inheritance, of money is placed before the accumulation of knowledge or
wisdom (teachers did rather worse as well).
What intrigued me was that a manager of 25 people or more was class 2
whereas a manager of 24 or less was class 8. - Instant social climbing
by employing 1 more person! Restores one's faith in human stupidity.
