Misses out, presumably, in these privileged occupations? (4,3,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
jobs for the boys
'these privileged occupations?' is the definition.
'misses out presumably' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'out' could be 'forth' (I've seen this before) and 'forth' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jobs for the boys that I've seen before include "Employment of cronies" , "Don't employ girls" , "favouritism" , "a result of nepotism" .)
