    Would you employ yourself ?

    Imagine you were interviewing for a role, and one of the applicants was yourself.

    Well, nobody knows you better than you do, so would you employ yourself ?

          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            I'd probably employ one of me and some smart graduates.

              NO WAY!

              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                WHS and I wouldn't get on with the boss either.

                    I know, its the only way the directors could get someone to work (literally) for peanuts!

                    Now in good Consultancy style, MyCo could not afford to hire MyCo as the rates would be too high!
