My old school friend's 2.1 in a social studies degree
has earned him the excellent career of stacking shelves in Sainsburys for the last six years.

He should be congratulated, he's got his own section now, and is mostly responsible for the root vegetables. Well done Andy, well done indeed.

A degree does nothing but stop your CV being instanting binned
the rest is up to you and your experience.

I don't have a degree, but it's never stopped me getting a job
I do seem to reach a glass ceiling though, so I'm going to have to start sucking off MDs

Degrees become irrelevant once you have experience
As an employer would rather have someone with academic experince or actual on the job experience?

Good plan for the glass ceiling, but you may want to brush up on your technique first.

I'm experienced in many fields and qualified in none
I'll take your advice to heart and begin practicing at once, I'll start off with chipolatas and work my way up to Kielbasa.

I couldn't become a chartered engineer if I didn't have an industry-accredited masters degree.

I went for a job at Tesco years ago, stacking shelves.
The woman interviewing me told me how fulfilling and lovely the job was. Apparently, you start your shift, and the shelves are untidy. As the evening goes on, and your shelves are getting tidier, well, the sense of pride you feel...
I thought she was taking the piss.

I applied for jobs in supermarkets twice in the past
twice I was rejected. Thank christ for that

Tesco turned me down for a shelf filling gig a couple of years ago.
How the hell can someone be too dumb for that? Seems I managed it...

shelf filling...
It's all the same.

Perhaps
you were overqualified.

Or maybe thought too much about it?

I think we got rejected for being too good
it's the only explanation. To work there you need a genetic deficiency or parents who are related to one another. If you have both you get to be manager
( Bert Monkeysex is waiting for the mods to delete him, Wed 11 Nov 2009, 10:15, Reply)

If you have the latter
there's a pretty good chance you'll have the former too!

Sorry
Didn't actually mean you, Bert. I was using 'you' as a general term.

I should have used 'one' instead.

I'm not in the business of falling out with people on the interweb. Although I did get a gaz from The Goat once...

I had replied to some of the bollocks that he used to spout, and I got a 'care to expand on that?' type of message.

I didn't, as I couldn't be bothered with all his shit, so just ignored it.
