that warm feeling you get from being asked 'how do you do this?' from someone who is 'technically' (only by title) your superior, has way more experience and a degree to their name. Good to know the 7 years at Uni wasn't wasted... :?

Well if he is your superior, therefore presumably earning more than you, then it clearly hasn't been wasted has it!

Sad fact though - doesn't matter how good you are at what you do, if you have a colleague who isn't as good but has a degree, they will probably be on a better salary.

It's not true in business.


It still is in IT a lot of the time unfortunately. I'm sure it must be getting more realistic though.

I doubt he is, I'd estimate I'm prob on about £10,000 p/a more than him. Benefit of being a contractor. No security (well, less security - luckily my skill set gives me a modicum of security), more wonga.

Yes, I forgot you are a contractor. Far more useful than a degree, no doubt about that.

Scott Mills doing his own "Masterpieces" feature and playing Avril Lavigne's album out on air(I'll probably get flamed to a crisp for posting about this).

I know Scott gets a total bashing on here(unfairly in my opinion) but that's an impressive thing to do, and a throwback to when Radio 1 wasn't a pile of manufactured shit.
Kudos.

Well in the context of Mills' show, surely that's just him being unbelieveably lazy? Or maybe he's feeling ill and wants a break?

It's getting a very positive response on Twitter as far as I can see - it's quite nice and I think quite funny (as a one off).
