    Aren't all those A-levels for Media Studies, Sociology and General Studies a guarantee of jobs?

    Fast food chain KFC is to buck the trend of the credit crunch and create up to 9,000 new UK jobs through a £150m investment programme that will see it open as many as 300 new restaurants over the next three to five years.


    We are establising a new education policy in response to Britain's changing employment landscape.

    From 2010 the following National Curriculum will be inplace:

    Advanced burger flipping - Part of the sports council for deprived areas.
    Do you want fries with that? - Marketing and public relations studies.
    Large or small Diet Coke - Nutrition and economics.
    I have read in the news that also McDonald is doing very well.

    All these hyper-paid marketing specialist do not appear to understand that the reason people are getting more into fast-food is not because of the product itself but simply because is the cheapest food available.

    I can't see any valid reason to invest or create jobs in this sector (unless you believe that recession will last for many many years.... in which case... )
