Putney Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 scary when you see how many graduates these developing countries churn out. Asia has over 1000 graduates in science, maths and engineering to every 1 from europe. Soon 2 or more degrees per person will be common place for some jobs.So my predictions... the gap between the have, and have nots will get bigger and bigger.Everybody is screwed!

Crusoe Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) be interesting to see what happens, always be a place fro skilled manual labour - see how much plumbers get paid now for example. The rich getting richer may move locations to other parts of the world if the poor start impacting on their lives. The greater the gap the more likely the two or three tier system will develop (already private health for one and nhs for the other, private school and public etc. in the uk) if the poor can't see a way out to get richer then crime is bound to increase as more people want what they can't afford. The opposite might be true as well though, lots of super wealthy people have given a way a large proportion of their welth recently as they realise it is more beneficial to put it back into society. Money after all does not bring happiness and could make you even more of a target for crime etc. in the future. With all the food scares and stress people might realise it's the quality of life that is more important and let their jobs take a back seat in their lives. Untimately the guy that works 8 hours a day sweeping the streets is working just as hard if not harder than the guy in the high flying city job doing an 8 hour day in his fancy office.

tiernz Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 "Wouldn't bother unless it is vital to your intended career "Probably. And if not 'vital' a degree will go a long way to putting me in front of other applicants I would hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 on the subject of money the u.s. fed has just reduced their main interest rate to 3.5% from 4.25% which seems to be rocking the markets again and might lead to more panic as it looks like a desperate move to stop recession issues.

cj-sharpy Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Damn it I wanted the catfish joke.I earn a lot more than my friend and she got a 1st and a masters.No 6th form, no degree. Just learnt how to graft for a living and how to wash my hands after work.Only 20K full wage as a qualified spark. Daft thing is I've excepted a new job today. They dont see my C&G as qualified so want me as apprentice whilst I go back to college to get JIB. And I still get paid more than at the moment.Also to the soilder ( forgot your name) Did you take off your daily deductions for food and bored? Food, bed, guns, gym and getting buff are cool for a job. But beasting, NBC suits, gibbering exercises in january and taking orders form some hopped up private school boy to**er sucks ass. Worst part was 1 small building, 0 windows, 6 blokes, 50 press ups and 4 CS tablets. If you've ever been sprayed bu the police (probably not) its 10x worse.
