I've been temping for the last couple of weeks, because I need some money while I find a permanent job after graduating.
I have worked at two different places, for one week each. Both of them have been factory work, and both of them had radio's in, and I've realised a couple of things:
1. Radio DJ's, especially on Essex FM (which I was forced to endure, as I couldn't get XFM on the radio) are a complete bunch of faggots. There are the most childish, rubbish crap-spewing people to ever have been born. They act as if all their listeners are about 4 years old. It's pathetic. Radio 2 is no better, which I had to put up with on the second week. Steve Wright is a complete t0$ser, for example.
2. Most radio ad's also treat the listener as if they are a child. I would never buy a product after hearing the radio ad out of principle, they're all sh!te.
3. People only want the radio on, so they don't have to talk to each other. If the wireless is spewing out some mindless crap, then people can get away with out talking to the person next to them. Then, when the news comes on, which is the only part I'd like to listen to, they talk all the way through it.
Roll on getting me a proper job!

I'm so tempted to make a funny about not knowing which side your bread is buttered...

That's what I've been looking at doing. I'm getting increasingly peeved at my Uni and it's got me looking at ways to get away for a bit.

My degree has done both, it has provided me with knowledge in my chosen field, without there is no way I could be in Cancer Research, but its mostly useless since now I'm stuck doing a job that pays a pittance, with no way out into another career path as I have become to specialised, and only getting deeper into my chosen field and more and more specialised to look forwards to.
Still at least there is always job satisfaction (hohoho)

Try and do a sandwich course then. That way you get the degree, and a years worth of experience which makes a difference...

But then again I'm not looking forward to trying to find a job with no experience behind me. It works both ways really.

But then again I'm not looking forward to trying to find a job with no experience behind me. It works both ways really.
How cliche; people without degrees always insist that they are worthless and irrelevant, people with them (or are attempting to obtain one) always claim that the degree has provided them with much needed knowledge in their chosen field.

I have no degree. I work a decent to superb job with excellen prospects, I will soon be taking more specialised quals to enhance my career prospects, and also enhancing my systems knowledge to make myself indespensable.
If I had a degree, I doubt i would be where I am.
Sure, if you get in the top 10 percentile of people passing your particular degree, someone will snap you up, but other than that, you don't get snapped up because you're not needed.

for example, ratehr than doing a degree in accountancy, do a CIMA qualification instead.
Accountanct degree means absolutely nothing, CIMA makes you a chartered management accountant.
You'll find that pretty much all professions have specialised qualifications that you can hunt down and sign up for. Just be careful not to become too specialised, which makes you harder to employ (although you can command huge sums if in demand).

That makes no sense. I'm doing a degree so I can either start my own business or get into a crap-to-decent job in an over-crowded and competitive industry. Without one I'd be laughed out the door.

Don't do a PhD.
