I see floods all over the news.

I told you it was a soggy little island.

Why should sensible people like me who didn't buy a house
in a flood plain have to foot the bill for those that did?

Because that's the way it works.

The government is paying millions to "victims" of flood.

They pay millions to those like you who were too stupid
to work out what qualifications would get you a job too.

did you know that he has got a degree?

Yes. Pity there is **** all in the way of jobs for anyone
with that particular degree there and he is determined
to stay there instead of moving to where there are a
few jobs in that area. **** all jobs tho.

He's just another example of someone who gets a
degree in what interests them without considering
what qualifications would get him a job.

A degree in what I'm good at,

Even when the job prospects in that area have always
been pathetic with all except teaching which you appear
to have decided isn't the sort of job that appeals to you.

I took the subjects all through school that I was best at.

Some must have been compulsory.

No point in trying for a degree that'll get you a job, then failing it.

But a lot of point in doing a degree that will get you
a job and not failing it, specially when you have to pay
a substantial cost out of your own pocket to get it.

and you can't tell how many jobs will
be in that line of work in the future.

Corse you can. Its obvious that there aren't
that many jobs as horse fettlers likely in the
future, or archaeologists etc either.

Physics seems pretty important to me.

**** all employers agree with you on that.

None that employ those with degrees in physics
where you choose to 'live' apart from schools.

And that we are going to need a hell of a lot
more people working in health care as the population
ages and a bigger percentage of the population survive
to the age when they need a hell of a lot more health
care. Its also obvious that as the number children
people have keeps dropping, that there will be a lot
fewer jobs as teachers too and that many more of
them will be teaching the kids of recent immigrants too.

And that places like Britain do **** all in the way of
digital microelectronics design now, let alone Scotland.

You can't tell where that will be, but
you can be sure there is a lot of it.

Pity its almost entirely done where you choose
not to 'live' or where they wouldn't have you
even if you were happy to move there.
