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.

The useless ones like Geography.

There was no choice in primary school etc.

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,

If you pick the subjects you're crap at, you'll probably fail the degree.

But there are plenty that you aren't crap at that have
decent job prospects that even you won't fail at.

specially when you have to pay a substantial cost out of your own pocket
to get it.

Education (was) free here, in fact I was PAID to go to uni.

So was I, and did a lot more than you did too.

In an area where there were decent job prospects too.

And you wasted all that effort when you were
actually stupid enough to get the degree in
what was useless jobs wise given what you
had decided to do location and work wise.

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.

Most scientific advances involve physics.

Bull****. And given where you choose to 'live' you will
never be involved in any scientific advances anyway.

Everything is a subset of physics.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.

Actually, my first job was sort of got by my degree.

Your job prospects would have been a hell of a lot
better if you had got your degree in other than physics.

And your degree was completely useless after that anyway.

I got the interview for a different job there because of my degree, but
someone who already had experience in the same line of work got the job
(he left his previous job to take it as it was a 2 year contract only). I
was then given a job which didn't previously exist, based on my hobbies
effs.

So your degree was completely useless.

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.

Who would live where it costs 10 times as much to live in half the land
space?

Those who have decided that they want to
spend the bulk of their working life doing stuff
that leaves what you do for dead for starters.
