      I applied for the The Pope position, but they said I wasn't qualified because I didn't appear to have any experience in matters of sex. I got kind pissed and told em I would gladly have checked a box if they had one labelled like so:

      Only with women of legal age/consent and without invoking the "wrath of God" clause if they refused my advances
      Actually I knew I wasn't gonna get the job when I saw a box I couldn't check under the same section labelled:
      Small children and other members of my parish (pant, pant, drool - YEAH BABY!)
      I just didn't have the requirements they were looking for... ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

      Exactly the sort of experience I thought was a prerequisite for the job. Kind of explains why the whole 'Gee, I think I will choose a job where I can't have sex' idea didn't appeal to me.

                If you are not doing something you like, you will not be dedicating yourself to something that others will respect you for. Most will be good paying if you are good and not if you are just getting by. If you want money become a lawyer. If you want respect do not. "I will find a new sig someday."

If you love what you do and get to "play" all day when people pay you for it, now that's a job! Imagine getting to play $200,000 video games everyday... :cool::cool::cool: - Nitron

                          Short-term web programming jobs seem to pay the most for this field of work round this part of the country. They typically last about three months and they pay about £20 an hour 40h/w. Whilst that isn't especially high for the job once you get into a city like London, in this small part of the world that is about 80% more than the normal paying wage for a full time job in this field. I haven't been looking at the other fields so I can't talk about them, sorry.

                          'Real' programming gets you more - while the market is somewhat suppressed atm, during the last peak in the later half of 2000 temporary Java positions were commanding rates iro £60/hr - C++ even managed around £50. Now, however, it's around the mid to high 30's for both. Phil
