From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-02-03:
"Education isn't an investment in the hope that it will get you a good (i.e. highly paid) job at the end. Jobs are crap. Students are assuming that because a consulting job starts on 25k [pounds], it is necessarily a good thing. You will be humiliated, and then promoted to a position where you can humiliate others. And that's your life." -- Tom Hodgkinson, editor of The Idler.
