Mike,
Where does actual work come into it all? Internships for a few weeks,
mickey mouse "apprenticeships", finance, media, politics? Manufacturing
(anything) is airbrushed out of the picture. I suppose it's the only kind
of world Andrew Neil knows. To get to where I was at the age of 30, ie, a
moderately experienced marine engineer draughtsman, I'd been required to
serve 5 years at the tools, go to sea (the first job I got as a draughtsman
after leaving the MN specified sea experience as essential), move around a
bit from firm to firm to ger varied experience, and do a great deal of
studying. At 30 I got what was called "the full rate" - a draughtsman in
earlier times would, at 30, have achieved senior status. Nowadays some
ponce can achieve stardom in a few weeks or months - no wonder the UK is 3rd
world place.
Hugh.
