Any American VAs learning a British accent: these comments are gold!
The UK is a combo where-you-went-to-uni and what-you-studied-at-uni country, and both decisions are made at age 17. That's one of the grating things about the infantilization of students, in both upper secondary and university: their lot in life is determined by decisions made by age 21 or even 18.

My days of calling for the removal of agency officials are coming to a middle.
I'm trying to think of any country I've lived in where any decision one makes past age 25 matters to one's lot in life, beyond minimum behavioral norms. I've found success in a second career and even that second career is built on things I discovered at age 22 and a degree I studied at age 18-23.
