Oh dear

You had the same careers teacher as I did. Isnt it shit looking back over your life and realising that being a Mastic Asphalt Spreader would have been more fun, healthier, more rewarding and all round better than the dead end job we ended up with. Told we cant earn more than a Tesco checkout operator because there is a bonehead in accounts that reckons he can get 25 Indian software engineers for the same rate as a Tesco checkout operator, a bonehead in management that says you have to waste half your day traveling because you need to be part of the team (like the Indians in Bangalore, the Chinese in Bejing or the Romanians who are all working on the project, or the Americans who are supplying the architecture drawings with their 2 weeks post graduation experience), or the HR wally who thinks you shouldnt swear loudly when some IT bozo forces yet another downgrade from Microshit on your already fucked up laptop buggering all those nicely setup programs... arghhh... yup, Masic Asphalt Spreading was an unfortunate miss on my career ladder
