A social underclass...

Reading the Shannon Matthews story reminded me of something i read a few weeks back.

It described how the state of the country could be in the future and how there will be an underclass that isn't integrated into society.

They will roam and scavage for food, unable to communicate properly - living like animals, whilst we keep as much distance between us & them.

Definite, Feasible or Impossible?

I thought you were talking about students, then.

hahaha go on then paul!!

was actually fair funny that, but to be fair it is the scrotes you wanna watch out for.

students,in the future, when they have proper jobs will help to keep society from beneath the feet of doll dossers!!

Doll dossers ! Is that what happens when Barbie and Sindy go bad  

As for student = proper job, all I can say is that the most wealthy / happy people I know are self-employed tradesmen who never went to University. Wish I'd have done that. Anyone can get a degree of some form nowadays it seems ……

You can do a degree in surfing, now

:clap:   Nearly choked on me wine then  

r u referring to a religious story ? cos there is mention of such a tribe in the Holy Quraan !

   Reel 'em in! :wink:

Seems i've hit a nerve  8O

touchy subject is it dole dossing??  :?  

Well you find the percentage of people who have a degree, but are currently un-employed and are claiming benefits.

Also the percentage of people with a degree, and an ASBO.

What kind of degree are you doing Arron?

Journalism Paul

Preston uni, 95% employment  

so you need to spend three years of your time for some one to teach you how to write, type, talk crap and lie.

Wooders,

1) Journalism's first obligation is to the truth.

Journalism is the discipline of gathering, writing and reporting news, and broadly it includes the process of editing and presenting the news articles. With a view to entertain and inform the public.

you must use original sources of information, including interviews with people directly involved in a story, original documents and other direct sources of information, whenever possible, and cite the sources of this information in reports.

you must be careful about granting confidentiality to sources (news organizations usually have specific rules that journalists must follow concerning grants of confidentiality)

also every fact reported must be checked, journalists often record important historical events as they are happening, but at the same time, they must produce their news articles on short deadlines.

So it is a little more complex than being able to read and write…

just proved my point.

oh, i forgot plagiarism

yeah yeah Plagiarism;

Fully attribute information gathered from other published sources, should original sources not be available (not to do so is considered plagiarism; some newspapers also note when an article uses information from previous reports);

as for this comment

all I can say is that the most wealthy / happy people I know are self-employed tradesmen who never went to University. Wish I'd have done that. Anyone can get a degree of some form nowadays it seems ……

this sums me up  :wink:   :?

personally i'd rather keep my hands clean.

my dads a self emPloyed tradesman and i know how stressfull his job is, always having a Poor winter because no-one wants any work doing that time of the year. falling asleeP on the sofa at tea time because he's worked so hard during The day, rough hands and a bad back..

Personally id rather sit in an office and Push Pens, at least that way i'll have a guaranteed salary every month

there is alot to be said for a regular wage with paid holidays. being self unemployed is a double edged sword. personally, i can't stand an office enviorment. i can't stand a joinery shop enviorment. people seem to get institutionalised. a higherachy seems to develope and alot of cattyness seems to occur. a man tends to be more of a man 'getting his hands dirty' though there are more than a few arseholes in the builing game mind.
 i like being outdoors, summer or winter. sometimes i get wet, sometimes i get tanned, sometimes i'm here, sometimes there, sometimes i'm surrounded by wallies, sometimes a cracking bunch of lads. it's not mundane at least. a good week can earn fortunes, a bad one is no wage at all. but i can call a spade a spade and a shovel a shovel. no grovelling or cowtailing for me.
 i certainly would not look down upon people getting there hands dirty mind. there are plenty of very good tradesmen, that have more skill, knowledge and outright intelligence than 99% of people who work in offices will ever have. a man makes a job, the job doesn't make the man.
 doing a degree and working towards something is indeed a good thing and something that is admirable for those who achieve goals that they set out with. there are many, who use higher education to avoid the world of working for a living though. not too much different to dole dossing.
good luck with your degree, started it or commencing in september?
