When I went though secondary school, it was not uncommon for
pupils on the science/maths side of the distribution to have
dropped any subject that required them to write essays; just
as the other "humanities" group had dropped science and
maths subjects as soon as possible; naturally, this greatly
exacerbated the weaknesses of both groups.

But at some point you have top specialise in your area of interest
I doubt many rocket scientists are experts in shakespeare.

One of our academics wants the department to employ a super-technician
one that knows everything about electronics and computer science, to help out in all areas
of teaching and research, she's been wanting such a person for a few years now.
Be interesting to see the job description with a starting salery of around £25K
and who applies.


An endless supply of bull****ters and hopeless hopefuls, people who
don't have the right to seek work in the UK ,

Those will be easily weeded out, as they won;t even get an interview.

and those
with no experience at all and just want to get their first job.

we don't get many like that, if anything we get those that are over qualified
that's what happened last time we put a post up.

Here's a list which would you be qualified to do ?
