Lightwalking, The other side of the Shadows. Options

[d1ng0d0g]

I'm starting a game where the characters are not Shadowrunners, instead they are University students asked by the dragon dean to do a little something for him. A very valuable item in his possession was stolen and he is facing a little inter-dragon embarrassment if that is discovered.

The reason he doesn't hire a team of Shadowrunners is because he is testing them for further assignments, swiping them from the respective corporations that provide the funds for their education.

However I came against a very unique problem that's taking away a lot of energy. That is that the players are having trouble envisioning characters who are being groomed to be upper-middle management or lower higher management of a corporation.

So I'm actually looking for bits and parts of how the normal population of the Sixth world sees it. After all, the majority of people do make up that part of society.
