Worzel a good job!

So you've graduated, now how do you intend to earn a living!

Jamie Fox, 22, who recently graduated from Bangor University, will use a ukulele, accordion and cowbell to frighten away troublesome partridges.

While his fellow students may be pulling pints, going travelling or desperately seeking their first professional role, Mr Fox will earn £250 a week patrolling the ten-acre field.

Wearing a bright orange coat, he will play the musical instruments in a bid to finally scare off the hardy birds, which were unperturbed by ordinary scarecrows.

His employer, a farmer from Aylsham, Norfolk, even warned him to “bring a deckchair and a good book” for his days in the oilseed rape field, where he will also practice his ukulele in the hopes of getting a full-time job in music.

Mr Fox, who says his friends are “slightly envious” of his role, is now saving to pay for a trip to New Zealand next year.

He must have got F minor if all he can do is scare birds when he performs. :pac:
He should have cut out the middleman and just gone straight to the farm.

Not at all. Ten farmers were down the pub and one bet the others a grand he could get a graduate to run around his field banging a drum for two weeks non-stop.

From the picture, it looks like it has only been sowed and he has been hired for only two weeks, to allow it to start growing.

All joking aside, why is this news worthy?

22 year old gets a job...so what if he has just left college?

I hate the attitude that maybe he's better than this?

Oh how we all remember the sniggers at lads who worked in MacD's after college....a job is a job folks.

Pertwee. That is all

It's more to do with the fact that degree courses have become devalued, due to the sheer numbers doing them. Like how the hell is he ever going to pay off his student loan (most students these days have them), if this is the only type of work available.

He doesnt seem too worried about loans.
