I don't think I equated success with money, and I wouldn't because I didn't come to university knowing how much money lawyers earnt and I still don't understand how much money is a lot and how much is enough and so on.

I wouldn't share something with someone else which is likely to increase my chances of getting my dream job. I didn't with that law competition a few months back and I have no regrets for that. Everyone is able to seek opportunity if they are serious enough about wanting to do something. There are just a great amount of people in this country who think opportunities should be handed to them.
