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 ?

I could do the CS lecturer. But not for that money.
