Students think geek jobs are boring

A MAJOR NEW SURVEY by the British Computer Society (BCS) has found that the yoof of today reckon that jobs in IT are boring. Innit.

A generation of slack-jawed, work-shy hoodies, most of whom probably just want to be on the telly and stuff, were asked what they thought of a life behind the keyboard and monitor. And most of them sad, "Nah man. Thass borin', innit. I'm gonna get me some Benjamins wiv me rappin', check me riddims one time." (or some such unintelligible gibberish)

Actually, the respondents were all undergraduates who consider the IT sector to have a bright future with good prospects for highly-paid jobs.

The research, which comes at a time when more than half of tech companies are struggling to fill graduate placements, found that 60 per cent of students working in a non-computing environment thought that the work would be boring.

Well here's a heads-up, kids...

99 per cent of jobs are boring! That's why it's called a job. You don't do it for fun. You do it so you can afford to live and pay your mortgage and your bills. We can't all work for Google and have little naps in the afternoon and have days off because we're 'feeling a bit vulnerable at the moment'.

Send em all down the pits we say.

Blimey... I'm going to have to go and have a bit of a lie down before something bursts. µ
