George Orwell won scholarships to two of England’s leading schools, Wellington and Eton colleges. He briefly attended the former before transferring to the latter, where Aldous Huxley (who later wrote the dystopian novel Brave New World) was one of his teachers. Instead of going on to a university, Orwell entered the British Imperial service and worked as a colonial police officer in Burma (now Myanmar).
