I've seen some 'attitude and ego' problems with students (both A levels and inter) whenever there's a discussion about 'professional life and circle'...
I don't think a distinction between students should be made on their academic background, to an extent... Perhaps that distinction has led to this 'argument'...
I don't mean to spark any controversy here, nor do I wish to see raised eyebrows, but its quite obvious that ALevels students have a very healthy background, especially because ALevels Accounting and Mathematics are far more 'in-depth' and cover vast topics if considering in terms of syllabus...
However, I've seen some amazing Intermediate students as well... I have a friend who has completed his ACCA in the first attempt, is in his second last year of CA, teaches part-time as well, doing his articles from Ford Rhodes Siddat Haider... And he's from an Inter/B.Com background.... I know some other CA's too who qualified in the first attempt and came from the Inter route...
So to conclude, more depends on a persons own efforts and how much one believes in himself/herself, no matter what the odds.
