9% unemployment is not exactly terrible, considering the wider economic state of affairs. some young people in europe are looking at 27% unemployment.

macbeth i can hook you up with a job that pays $800 off the books. can you deal with angry-rude black people who will not hesitate to fuck you up because you wouldn't let them having something on the house?
I deal with black people really well. I have tremendous amounts of patience for them. The trick is to elevate yourself above them mentally and suddenly it all becomes entertainment.
Very much interested if you are serious.

You won't beat a black man physically, so you have to beat him mentally.
i'm deeply suspicious of anyone that willingly goes for a job in secondary education.
so far the only people from my graduating year who went down the 'postgraduate certification in teaching' path to end up teaching 14 year old brats are the maternal-and-average girls or the need-a-plan-and-have-no-direction guys. one of my close friends is doing a PGCE right now and he's also still going clubbing every week and doing a lot of hard drugs. he's the only one still in that pattern of undergraduate partying behaviour... and, because of financial incentives and "well what else can i do?" syndrome, he's going through training to teach inner-city kids how to read 'of mice and men'

probably because 60-70% of the job time is spent doing non-teaching stuff, and the pay is about 3x as high. also you're teaching/reading/writing/learning at an 'adult' level, that satisfies your own intellect... rather than constantly trying to present everything for a 13 year old.
it's fine though dilbert, we've all realized you've given up on your own 'higher education' a long, long time ago . . .

There are varying levels of 'adult level' though aren't there?also you're teaching/reading/writing/learning at an 'adult' level, that satisfies your own intellect... rather than constantly trying to present everything for a 13 year old.

i know right, who wouldn't want to take $100,000+ a year to write books on their intellectual interest and tour around the world giving lectures as a respected expert in your field. sounds like hell.
and being surrounded by all those 18-25 year old women, for a whole career the pain

judging from your terrible pseudo-science and racism, yours is pretty sub-average. i've met farmhands with a wider and more promising outlook.Dilbert_X wrote:

oh the tragedy. i bet those intellectuals really want to kill themselves being surrounded by hot young coeds all the time.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

I'm still waiting for you to give us an example of a superstar academic in the literature field though, how many times have I asked now, is it 5 or 6?
Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй!
i could link you a whole list of world-famous and prominent literary academics, but you'd find grounds to dismiss all of them... because, surprise surprise, you haven't heard of them in your own little bubble, and what dilbert the anti-egotist hasn't heard of, ain't worth hearing of, full stop.
again, i don't really understand your criterion of 'fame', either. these people are specialists. specialists of extremely erudite subjects. why the need for 'fame' as a qualifier of their importance or significance? fame is a measure of populist appeal. you are asking SCHOLARS to have populist appeal. uh, okay. name me several living and world-famous mechanical engineers? name me several living and world-famous marine biologists? oh, okay. last time if i recall correctly you name-dropped "steve jobs and bill gates" to fend for the engineer's side. funny, that. don't think either of them are engineers.
So, once again, you won't or can't, please stop bringing it up.
Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй!
stop bringing what up? when did i ever bring up "fame" and academia? i said it's a desirable job because you earn recognition as a "respected expert in your field". professional esteem amongst a network of scholars and intellectuals. that's perfectly desirable enough for me. i don't need shut-ins in australia to have read my wikipedia to feel 'life fulfilled'.
here's a few on my immediate reading shelf right now btw... who also satisfy your arbitrary requirement of "still being alive" (seeing as you dismissed edward said's influence immediately, because he died recently, rofl).

i wish there were celebrity mechanical engineers. that'd be interesting.
well, there aren't any, so i guess that career path AIN'T SHIT.
same goes for being a literary critic! i guess you should end your career because you will NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING because you won't be famous.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

if only i was courageous enough to have some real aspirations, instead of an oxford dphil... some real achievement... like, i don't know, being a reality tv star, or releasing auto-tuned music. famous people far exceed my talent and ability :'(
oh and judging from your 'attendance' in the boobs/ass threads on this forum... you're not exactly exempt from looking at 18-25 year old women. in fact, i'd say your behaviour is 100x more lecherous than any academic who just teaches and supervises them. not sure my professors are posting pictures of coed soft-porn or ass-shots in their spare time.Dilbert_X wrote:

rofl. it must be hard being you. you come to this forum every day with a cocky, know-all attitude, embarrass yourself in front of all attendant posters... then leave for another 12 hours, and pretend it never happened. every single thread you are posting in currently, a host of people are scratching their heads and wondering just what the fuck you are smoking.
having a tough day? get mummy to rub your back.
truly pathetic man.

I'm not the one claiming engineering academics are international superstars - why would I have to prove a point I haven't made?
I see, so you make no distinction between, on the one hand someone who occasionally copy-pastes pictures from one forum to another for entertainment purposes, and on the other hand someone who is planning his whole life and career around having ready access to 18 year olds into old age.Uzique wrote:

You can deny it if you like, but you've said it often enough so good luck.
