Bestpud , I agree with you about Academic brilliance and the real world.
When my daughter went to Cambridge the advice I gave her was she could stay in her room for 3 years and come out with a first, or she could involve herself in other things the University has to offer and end up with a 2.1 or a 2.2.
Luckily, she listened. She is in her 2nd year and has just finished an editorship of the student newspaper, being one of the youngest editors at 19. She managed some 40 editorial team, most of whom were graduates, spent almost all of her week at the newspaper office and has achieved a 2.1 .
She has been approached by two of the countries biggest broadcasters and national newspapers interested in her intentions after university.
A lot of her friends at Cambridge, some who will gain firsts , have no idea what they intend to do after Uni and have already been sucked into the city via the 'milkround'.
I am certain being at Cambridge opened the first crack in the door as it were, but eveyone who has approached her is more interested in her work on the newspaper.
As an aside, most of her friends are from similar backgrounds, working class state school. I am sure the 'posh public' school types are there, somewhere, but they are usually found at certain colleges.
