    The shame, the shame....

    Someone I know, there kids flunked their university degree course last year dropping out after two years
    After a brief spell temping for ASOS, they've now secured a job as a wait for it....

    IT consultant for a agency , so they're now a glorified salesman with no sales experience
    Worst of all they've already started their sales pitch on me, and trying to get me to explain what all these weird stuff like C# (or C squiggle as he first called it), and what's an agile is it a programming language

    Don't you hate it when people you know become the enemy grrrr, and worse I know an agent

    The horror, the horror

    A job is a job in this day and age. I would rather they did that than went on the dole IMO.

      Better to start early I suppose, no point in waiting to finish their drama / music / arts / ology degree to discover there are no jobs in that field and then become a graduate in IT sales or whatever they call themselves.

        Then get off your fat arse and go and earn some money. There's a contract going at the Bridgwater Travelodge if you can tear yourself away from that bloody computer.
