Hating France every day of my life

Stupid country where you need to have a nobiliary particle, be born in Versailles and flirt with the MD's daughter in an inbred "rallye mondain" to get a place in the market. Even having HEC on your resume is not enough to get a single interview in a low tier local boutique. How can anyone overcome this ? Is the future outside of Paris for French monkeys ?
