Oh, the irony...

Today, I signed up to a number of job agencies. There is little in the way of work over the next couple of weeks. But there are two temp jobs coming up over the next week.

Hands up who thinks that me handing out flyers for minimum wage, to get students to come to the university where I got my PhD is just too ironic...

"Come get a PhD and you too can earn minimum wage handing out flyers with a poncy baseball cap on".

Joy.

I've got a Bachelor's, and I spent six months as a substitute teacher and now I'm freelancing at a local newspaper.

I have a penis.

Brikar · 08-23-2005, 10:17 PM

Suuuuuuuure.

Bean · 08-23-2005, 10:27 PM

I do. And it's a big one too.

Brikar · 08-23-2005, 10:48 PM

Sounds as if you should "hand them" into a dumpster.

I'll have to see just how hard we have to work...

There's one of Britain's big problems, University is worshipped as the only rout to success, only problem is you comeout in heapsof debt with no guarantee of a good job afterwards. A friend of mine got his degree in Networking or something like that a year ago, and he's working in a pub, even though he's looking for jobs all over the country, everyone he applies to says he's qualified but doesn't have enough experience.
