Jobs you wouldn't do on principle?

[Badgers]

I would have been battling against their sexism, too.

Phwoaar

 

[fractionMan]

my current job

imo

 

[soopertujee]

I wouldn't work in the new academies that are opening up intead of giving schools money, now they're sponsered by companies like nestle and your forced to teach chocolate studies :- /

 

[Orang Utan]

I turned down a job in a pet food factory for many reasons, including the obvious (I am vegetarian and squeamish about dead animals), but also because the workforce were predominately male, and I would have been battling against their sexism, too.

Don't you mean YOUR sexism?

I once walked out of an interview for a 'marketing job' that involved guilt-tripping people.

It might have changed but I remember the richest kid in school (his self employed dad lived in a mansion/ 3 Mercs/ Spanish Villa) got a full grant for uni. Poorer Kids didn't. They had an accountant obviously.

Fair enough but is it actually possible to legislate so effectively that there are no loopholes? Won't it always be the job of accountants etc to find advantageous loopholes and exploit them?



Again fair enough I didn't mean to criticise you individually Kabbes! I agree that the regime needs tightening. Out of interest is there anything in particular you'd do?

This happened when I was at college. I got less than really rich kids whose parents could already/ did already support them generously.

Those olde grante forms were too easy to diddle. Dunno if they're any harder now, like.

Probably cos no-one gets one now I think only a 'hardship fund' for the really destitute hence studes working several jobs being more common now.

[Guineveretoo]

Don't you mean YOUR sexism?

No, because I accept my own sexism

 

[dessiato]

I am ashamed to say that I can't think of anything that I wouldn't at least seriously consider doing to make money. Of course the circumstances would dictate how likely I would be to doing a given job. If I needed the money badly enough I would do what I needed to do.

They have brought back a maintenance grant but I'm not sure how widely spread the entitlement is.

I see. I thought that was just in Scotland.

 

[chazegee]

What does a secret shopper do and can you keep the stuff?

No, you don't actually buy anything, you wonder into a shop, with a wire tap under your shirt, and get into conversations with certain target assistants.

I suppose this is so companies can sack people with no fear of legal action.

Sorry to be nosey but how do you target the assistants and do you have a list/script of conversations to have with them?

 

[coralgarden]

Anything to do with arms (weapons, not the things that your hands are on).

Probably nothing that involved making decisions that affected working class folks lives, like benefits assesment etc, unless I could do what I wanted on the sly.

Anything involving animal abuse.

Whale hunter

 

[chainsaw cat]

Actually merlin is a transport helicopter it does have door gunners ( i ve seem them shoot probably come close to scareing people at best )

Yeah, 7.62mm x2 is not such a good idea when you are the biggest thing in the sky, made of paper-thin alloy, full of explsive fuel and a huge propaganda coup for any twat with an AKM. I had this discussion with a Crab door gunner, he seemed to think that he was invincible.....

Yeah, anecdotal but...

I went to uni as a mature (28) student after leaving the Army. Poshish Uni (nottingham), everyone but me was on Daddy's money, with houses/cars/clothes/allowances.

I was working between 25 and 30 hours most weeks at all sorts of jobs to keep food in my tum and a roof on me head. Could I get a Uni hardship grant? Could I fuck, the fund had been swallowed up. I didn't mind too much untiol I heard various teenage arseholes in the bar twittering on about the doxh they'd got from same fund, despite being in the Rich Club. All about pulling the right strings regardless of what you need.
