The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

The EconomistEvery year the highly prestigious Economist Magazine does a worldwide survey into the cost of living.
They hand out a massive list of items that people have to cost (Food items, clothing, Insurance, cost of an x-ray etc)- I was paid (quite well) for doing this - around £1000 for a weeks work - which was a massive amount for a student
Each person had to get three prices for certain items high end, mid range and council estate level - which felt like just a bit too much work (I was a student)
So I got one lot of prices- then adjusted according to which level I was doing.
Hardly that bad really as I only did one city- but imagine how many people did that all over the world - and they publish the results - which is the most expensive place to live etc.
You have been warned....
