Unemployed young

Sounds a bit like the American intern thing, handy for fit young gals who can suck start a Honda ha ha

But as so many school/college/Uni leavers are so dense I'm not sure I'd trust them working even for free. A good number of school leavers in the UK are illiterate and innumerate - Education education education - my bottom!

I seem to remember looking through the university prospectus when I was on a day release with my work, there was a degree course for 'Toenail Technology'.

I mean, really, you can see where the system has gone wrong....... :confused:

So a scientist wanted more money spent on science degrees. Well, well, well, now there's a surprise :p

Has it ever ran a campaign to introduce something like Sarah's Law?

No

Is it the paper of choice for those who defend paedos?

Yes

Is it the paper of choice for those who are so inept at their jobs paedos go unchecked?

Yes

Are the jobs it advertises the type favoured by paedos

Yes

There you go, case closed it is 'the paedo's paper' and should be burned to the ground and Polly Toynbee taken outside and shot in the head till dead.

Do you guys hire people who are still in university as summer employees during holiday season or offer a place to do their bachelors/masters degree project for the company?

I know it works well here, I spent most of my summers working in the shop floor either assembly stuff or working the bender or other sheet metal thingies. And I did my master work for a company project, as probably 90% here do.

Wow there are some sweeping generalisations on this thread.

We don't take temps, nor do we offer temp employment to the likes of varsity students, but we do support varsity students by giving them free engines for project builds and free engine training guides and courses. We allow up to 25 free engines a year to the engineering students. It's amazing to see what they come up with. Most of it is just re-engineered technology, but every now and then we get some real original designs. It's fun to see the result of the original ideas :)

Everyone that works for me is a full time employee and is there to make me money 365 days a year minus weekends and holidays.
