Sure or not, poor family can send 4 or 5 siblings to university? Some more expensive and long duration courses like medicine and architecture. Who paid for their education? Parents or scholarships or ownself pay? Anyway those in the 60s now have it easy lah - plenty of chance to buy cheap property and catch the property boom - compare to those in the 40s, but the latter group still has it easier than those in the 20s now.
yah lor. the eldest sacrificed a lot by foregoing uni to help put the rest through school. but she gets her 2nd chance later in life and finishes her degree in london. both parents worked too. gov lends a hand too, especially for two who are bonded. doc opens up his first clinic after parents paid off bond with hard earned money. otherwise, he works on cadavers, murder cases, suicides, gruesome cases. one involves eyeballs and body parts all over the floor. very shiong kind of toil on the mind and mental health. all siblings are achievers. except me, i'm not smart and a sure loser. now i go around asking them to rent me a room, if not a mattress.
