I'm not picking on you @Brommers but are you sure about this?
Some parts yes, others, not at all.
Knowing what job you do, do you really think not think your private education helped you get there?
I'm sure it helped. Just not in the overt Old Boys' networking kind of way.
You also seem to have lived a life (from what I can gather from your posts) which suggests a degree of inate self confidence - racing cars, flying to Europe to regularly ride up and down mountains etc.
It's impossible to say, so I can't be sure whether my school gave me self-confidence I wouldn't have had otherwise. I don't feel I have the overweening self-confidence that alumni from the major public schools seem to possess - looking back I had a major case of imposter syndrome when I started at the Bar - but it may seem different on the outside.

I went to a bog standard comprehensive and mostly hated it so I find it quite hard to get angry at people for choosing to send their kids to private schools even if ideologically I really don't agree with them at all. I definitely don't think they should be charities.
It me! I suspect private school could have avoided years of imposter syndrome.
