Who are gaining the highest paid placements in UK higher education?

Wang, Z (2019) Who are gaining the highest paid placements in UK higher education? Faculti.

Abstract

Focusing on subject-relevant placements, the findings here strongly support the meritocratic recruitment and rewarding process for such work experience schemes. Prestigious and highly paid placements in elite professional firms are not filled by socially privileged upper middle class students but the academically "brightest" students from a wide range of social and individual backgrounds. Excellent academic performance has been interpreted by elite firms as equivalent to high levels of employability skills and productivity.
