Not entirely related but in my earlier working years, working for bigger
companies rather than self employed, I often took any job I could get
to get into a company and usually within a few months I was doing
something else at higher pay after showing them what I could do.
Not at all a comment on you guys but the number of people I've run into
over the years with university degrees that were total idiots is amazing.
Too often all a company will look for is a university degree. This is
how we end up with so many twits working for the government.. B)
Ha.. On a somewhat unrelated line.. I once applied for work at
the post office when they had a hiring blitz going on. I figured
it was a relatively stable job with good pay and benefits, but
the hiring process was pretty extreme with I.Q. and Psyche tests
required. I later heard back from them and was told that I was not
suited for the job because I'd scored too high on the I.Q. tests.
There was probably a message in there somewhere.. B)
