"You don't have to be nasty because I suggested you might be privileged in some way."
it is always external factors isn't it? He's privileged, I went to the US for years because i am privileged.. Everyone else who has done this is privileged?
This is sort of the "everyone thinks they are above average which is impossible" problem.. Not everyone can be "privileged".. maybe that isnt the issue after all?
what have YOU done to make YOURSELF admissible? No one will do this for you... there isn't any form of "Affirmative action" program to enter a foreign country.
They admit based on your skills and abilities and their needs to fill those roles. Look at the requirements, find out what you are missing..
> I don't have a uni degree either, kinda sounds like a you problem for lack of a better term
I'm not going to partake in this dude. You don't have to be nasty because I suggested you might be privileged in some way.
Not everyone gets the same opportunities and not everyone has the same life circumstances.
