  1. I'd imagine these days, with genetic evidence etc, not getting caught could prove extremely difficult ;)

    I'm a bit in this camp, plus my job has me out of the office at least once a week. When I did the old chose your career path at school one of the driving factors behind studying architecture vs accountancy was that the former would mean not being sat at a desk counting all day! I should probably have looked at their payscales a bit closer though!

    I also hate LinkedIn - almost passionately. It's a recruiters shortcut and another forum for professional peacocking. My mrs has a friend who has jumped from marketting with Google to Facebook to LinkedIn and he tried to sell me on the virtues of LinkedIn - safe to say it was a very short conversation!

    Its alright, the police don’t investigate past crimes now, so as long as you don’t tip them off before, you will be fine. :thumbsup:

  4. I'm on LinkedIn, its been sort of useful to get me my last two jobs. HOWEVER nowadays its lost its way as a professional networking tool and it is full of Marmite stuff that should be on Facebook etc. I cant wait until the day I retire and delete my LinkedIn account.

    I got my job previous to the current one directly from Linked In.
    I rarely use it though, as it’s full of crap.

    I’m a self employed gardener.
    I chose to do it.
    I like doing it.
    I don’t see it as a ‘job’.
    It’s hard work, but people pay to do hard work, in a gym.
    I couldn’t sit still long enough to work in an office or at home on a laptop.
    The people I do know that do it are overweight or bored.
    :thumbsup:

    I was recently in a RIB with a guy who with his brother created one of the first Apple apps .. printing from an iPad. It got featured world wide in an advertising campaign by Apple. About $30k a week income for a while.
    His day job is an IT security consultant working with big clients . .


    He had just sold his year old Ferrari back to the garage he bought it from for a 20% profit..

    He now drives a £500 car.. he will cash in post Covid to buy a cheap upmarket car.

    Basically a down to earth guy with a farming background.
