Lawyers in government:
K Shanmugam
Indranee Rajah
Edwin Tong
Desmond Lee
Latest is Edwin, proving that you need to come from Raffles JC (minimum) to have a fighting chance of a post in cabinet if you go down the lawyer track.
Obviously if you get 2:2 and below you’re quite stuck /bad shape in any case.
But other than that I see that with 2:1 and above (from NUS or Oxbridge), and with a raffles pedigree, you stand a good chance in cabinet.

I guess it doesn’t matter right. A 2:2 is a 2:2.
Once u get a 2:2, don’t think you can go anywhere else (probably end up in smaller firms).
Big four once a while if you have connections or other extra strength (maybe you are a top mooter). Other than that, once a 2:2, forever a 2:2.
Same concept right. The reason u can go RJC, is cos you eliminated so many others at O Levels / PSLE (for through train). Same.
At every stage it is a rat race. If u lose, means u lose.

Is there really such a glut anymore, when I applied for my TC in a big 4 I interviewed and got the offer the same week.

No more glut. The last batch from the delisted universities graduated in 2017.
If you’re year 2-3 currently in NUS, you’re just competing with SMU, and a limited no of overseas universities.

Every stage is a competition. The best survives.
Isn’t it the same for PSLE, O and A Levels.
Same for universities. If it doesn’t matter, why bother grading people then?
Look at cabinet - a lot of them are top/ valedictorian etc

So? That doesn’t mean everybody wants to be at the top, enter big firms, go top schools, and be a politician minister right?
