So why do you behave like a 15 year old who's bunked school almost all
his life?

I'm totally with behaving like the 15 year old who's bunked school, gone
to
the post office and bought a *** load of cheap cider with his dinner
money,
spent the afternoon laying in the sun in the long grass utterly zonked
totally out of his mind whilst everyone else did double maths.

I always sneered at that type, and quite rightly too - never met anyone
like that who amounted to anything at all.

In the end,
the only thing that double maths will get you is a job working for
someone
like me.

Funny, that - most of the people who did two double maths A levels with
me at 6th form have ended up self-employed and doing very nicely indeed.
Some of those who didn't ended up working in the City and did even
better - retiring *before* the recent hiccup in the global financial
system in a few cases I know of and they're my age and I'm just about 42
years old (who me, jealous? Yep).

That's what two double maths A levels get you - success and (more
importantly) independence and retirement before the age of 40.

(the bright boys and girls at uni ended up doing research mostly - some
of them went into the City and earned even more than the
money-manipulators, 'cos they were part of that mythical group, the
`rocket scientists' who earn *obscene* money. Well, they did until they
started to get the blame for the credit crunch, but actually it's more
the fault of the credit ratings agencies)

There a moral in that story somewhere.

Yeah, you know ***. I'm an odd one out, having been an employee but
also having two double maths A levels.

Roly you are dead right. Guess thats why I'm the one with the brand new
Alpha Romeo and you're the one with the broken motorbike.

I employ at least 5 people whom I know to have firsts in maths. Two are
actuaries, two are training to be actuaries and the other is preganant at
the moment. I've got someone with a Business/law degree, another who's a
chartered accountant, and yet another who has an MBA.

I've never asked them if they mind working for a complete idiot and I guess
they don't mind (as long as the idiot continues to pay them). Moral of this
tale is :

a) Intelligence is simply a commodity that gets bought and sold like pork
bellies or oil futures.
b) It never pays to be a swot (unless you actually like having your head
shoved down toilets)
c) Its generally better to be a lucky winner than a clever loser (thank the
lottery).
d) Who says that cute lady psychologists never fall for their patients (oh
yes Roland !!!)

However, you are absolutely right; I am a complete idiot :)))).
