That is provided that you have gain much working experience, Then paper qualitification carry less weight. For a fresh graduate that has zero experience. How are they going to compete to get into the trainee post? That is the important question that you have to ask.

Also I want to emphasize that you cannot use your Good old time, aka 10 to 15 yrs ago as a yard stick. Time change, things change, requirement change. Competition to get job become Much more intense nowadays.

Eg. A stack of application CV for you to filter through to give interview. I am very sure the Oxbridge, Ivy league uni graduate get the 1st round interview before the rest. Would you agree ?

Just my 2 cp

Hmmm may be I am dinasaurs...and completely out of touch...

But isnt with MNC, the job offer is going through that procedure?

Or just by connection? You cannot be serious...

I understand about the internship thingie. But that in itself usually is advertised. That is what I know how my friend kids got the job.

But I could be mistaken..

Dreamer boss, Im having the same mindset as you do the moment I read through the post.   

i think different.

according to the chart edyek spend most time in internet adn social media so should be new affluent worker.

If he/she wanted to move up to elite. Still 3 more steps.

I agree with both bosses  But with exceptions.

"Rich" to different people have different perception. When you are contented with what you have, usually you will feel rich. The number of zeros in your bank account does not matter to define "rich"

But to a greedy man, he will never feel rich.

I involve a lot in business associations. Thus I know a lot of businessmen friends in a few industries. In general (maybe 90%), these rich businessmen do CARE about how people thought about them. And mind you, their businesses are worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Some are Datuks and Tan Sri who own a few listed companies. Are they not rich enough ? They drive fancy cars. If a new model is out, they are the first ones to drive and show off to everyone. They wear those expensive watches. They always boost about their overseas trip that cost hundreds of thousand. Children education, wife's designer bags/cloths and even how many mistresses and which famous model became their mistresses ! They always compete against each other. If one friend says out loud his car/watch is not good enough, the friend become his enemy immediately. What does that tell us ? Because they CARE about how people think of them. Are they not rich enough ?

But 1 thing I observed, although they are "monetarily rich", most of them are not really happy 

one should not categorise people. you only categorise objects. we are all human. no such thing as upper class, middle class. etc. what's the definition of middle class? wealth? intelligence? so if a person were to be rich, does that mean he is smarter than the less wealthy? one cannot put a tag on an individual. there will always be someone "better" than you. just be who you are and live life to its fullest period.

Folks,

IMHO, there are only 2 social classes:

1) You are not RICH enough.  Hence, you need to CARE how people think of you.

2) You are RICH enough to live your life INDEPENDENT of how people think of you.

Yes, actually it is a matter of personal choice. Some rich people don't care what others think about them, whereas other rich people do care a lot about what others think of them

I am just responding to the statement "1) You are not RICH enough. Hence, you need to CARE how people think of you." It is a sweeping statement which generalise the mentality of rich people. In real life, it does not apply to all rich people

Boss, as per my reply to edyek, there are 101 type of rich people. Some do CARE about what others think of them...
