Excruciatingly low contract rates

[errorista]

The UK corporate complaint 10-15 years ago was that there was not enough IT people.

Not true - the real issue was there were not enough cheap IT people.

Today they have lots and lots of IT bods so what are they bleating about now?

There are not enough QUALITY IT people.

Ha ha ha ha. They got what they wanted.

If you pay peanuts . . . .

. . . . . you get monkeys!!

Why pay a premium for something any old monkey can do? Up skill my friend or accept a lower rate...

Thats what I was thinking. To be fair PHP and ASP are not the hardest languages in the world to master. I know them well enough and I'm not even a IT contractor.

So why is the city whinging about QUALITY?

You can eat the peanuts. Ive already gone up market.



What will be interesting is when in a few years there will be nothing but monkeys since IT will not attract the career minded. Looking at rates these days most grads will not be IT ones but will go for law and medicine once again.

Ill bet the city will bleat on about that too when the time comes.

One of my mates is a doctor and the first thing he did at 9am on a monday morning when he started university was get given a scalpel and told to start hacking up a cadavar.


This genius bit or timetable management had half the course drop out by 1pm the same day . I should think timetable management like this will keep away the non-dedicated

It is a dead human (Normally elderly woman aparently) who has been preserved so that medical students can practice cutting up a dead one before they get onto a live one. There is a good chance that various parts of it will go missing and end up on the tube at some point as well

[To BI or not to BI?]

you mean cadaver
