Quote: "Those who grow up in the outback of a developed world or on a new colony do not always have the option to follow a normal career path. A youngster with dreams of joining the navy or becoming an interstellar entertainer may instead find themselves stuck on the farm for another couple of years, and even then it may not be easy to get into a prestigious service.
A colonial upbringing provides slightly more than the usual set of skills, as learning starts early. On the downside, education tends to be lacking and transition into a career can be difficult."
