Ultimately, you have to know your system and work it, while hoping the system doesn't change on you in the meantime. If your system hadn't changed dramatically, it sounds like your friends would have been the ones coming out ahead.
But I do suppose that the person who is 'cheating' the system is more likely to get screwed harder than someone doing the 'right' thing in the case of a major change. I expect that if things were changed in a way that hurt people doing what they were supposed to, there would be some transitional period, grandfathering, etc to protect them, whereas if a change hurts people who are gaming the system, it's more likely to just leave them hanging, since they shouldn't have been doing that anyway.
- danieltillett 11y agoI agree, but as I found out by chance it is very hard to work a dynamic system prone to political change when you have to invest years into it. If your exposure is only short-term you are far less likely to get caught out by sudden changes. The irony in all this is I ended enrolling in a science degree for which I only needed a very low mark to get into - I could have enrolled in any of my high school's subjects and it would not have mattered.
