God no.

Work with people? Me?

Hah.

(goat thinks you're shit, Thu 16 Oct 2003, 14:27, archived)

i'm not going to be helping people or anything

i just want to go into a big commercial law firm and make lots and lots of money, silly.

Exactly,

if you want to progress in your job you'll have to suck (up to) your boss and stuff to get a promotion. I don't play well with others.

With a nice science degree, I just have to be ocassionally fantastic and amazingly arrogant and I'll be considered a natural for a professorship at a university somewhere.

but then you have to teach people?
I'll just find a nice rich politician to marry or something anyway i think.

That's ok,

it gives me the right to shout at people who I think are stupid and get paid for it.

(goat thinks you're shit, Thu 16 Oct 2003, 14:36, archived)

No, science is highly political

You have to make alliances with all the right people if you want to get your grants funded.

But I don't.

If I get a grant fund, I'll have to produce results. Where's the fun in that?

(goat thinks you're shit, Thu 16 Oct 2003, 14:37, archived)

you have to get funded to be allowed to do research

then you can just wank about as much as you like.

It's better than

having to live down a hole and eat rats.

You're going to be a lawyer?

Couldn't you just kill yourself instead?

no silly

the training wage is £30,000. It then goes up to about £50k.
I'm already having fun imagining all the lovely things I shall buy.

On the bright side

you'll have to work 80-hour weeks and with a bit of luck you'll have a breakdown before you're 30. Or take an overdose.

you want to become an accountant

all the ones I know make about 80-90k. And they're all Bon Jovi fans.

I know someone who wants to be an accountant.

We can actually see him grow more boring by the day.

(goat thinks you're shit, Thu 16 Oct 2003, 14:39, archived)

ooh

i like living on a prayer.
I was going to be an accountant/work in finance but then I dropped maths.

If I manage to stay in the profession for a while, i should be earning in excess of that anyway. I still like the politician idea though..

All the money in the world

can't stop you being a fucking fucktard.

i'm prepared to be a guinea pig for that experiment

(

new_matt, Thu 16 Oct 2003, 14:42, archived)

That's a very profound thought.

I think when I am old I will embroider it onto a sampler and hang it on my wall.

(

MissPrism, Thu 16 Oct 2003, 14:42, archived)

Fantastic.

I'd like you to be my grandmother.

(

Baz Fuck off, Thu 16 Oct 2003, 14:43, archived)

I'll stock up on lavender water

and mint imperials, then.

imagine a stadium full of fucktards

that's what a Bon Jovi concert must be like.

You should do a 'thought for the day' on Radio 4.

(goat thinks you're shit, Thu 16 Oct 2003, 14:45, archived)

There's an idea.
