i don't wanna quote anybody, well, yes results and school plays a part but don't forget luck. i didn't choose our local uni simply because of our education system. I am another UK grad just like some others in this thread. UK education system had gave me an understanding why most politicians/CEOs decided to send their children overseas. people weren't spoon fed there, there's alot more then just results. in the end, they built you with a thinking and visualing habit and not everything simply based on theoretical stuff because it isn't always logical. Look at those successful people arund the world, which education area were they from? Hence, to local grads, please be humble, you know how have you performed in the outside world now.
