Technical colleges/apprenticeships are for learning how to do.
Universities are for learning how to think.
Real world experience is for figuring out how to apply whichever path you took to get halfway to the other.
Sure, you can start as a grunt in a construction site, say, and work your way up to foreman, and you'll learn a whole lot.
Or start as an engineer and work your way down to the nitty gritty of the job, and you'll also learn a lot.
Neither path is the cure-all panaecea. It's the ability to effectively apply what you learn in a new way that's important. It's what allows us to grow in whatever careerpath is chosen. And that can be (and should be) taught either way.
Bjarnason also believes that penzim might prove a cure for common flu and cold, eczema in children and arthritis." Sounds a bit snake liver oilish to me... Reminds me of a scene in Terry Pratchett's Hogfather...
Recent Runes: "Spold's Unstirring Divisor would do it. Very simply, too. You'd end up with a large beaker full of all the nastiness. Not difficult at all, if you don't mind the side effects." Susan: "Tell me about the side effects." Recent Runes: "The main one is that the rest of him would end up in a somewhat larger beaker." Susan: "Alive?" Recent Runes: "Broadly, yes. Living tissue, certainly. And definitely sober."
I think it has to be taken with a grain of salt. It isn't likely that it'll work as well as they hope. Huh, in my day it was a 'spoonful of sugar', but each to their own, I guess...
When I came back after a year overseas to look for a job, I ended up with two offers. One of them (found through direct contact) offered about 20k more than the other (through a hiring agency). I spoke to the latter, asking if they could better their offer, and the agency basically flat out told me "You're not worth it. This is a great salary!" (granted, for a graduate, which I have most definitely not been, for quite a few years) "You'll come crawling back to me in two months just -begging- for a job!".
Naturally I declined their generous offer, and five months later, am still in the other job and quite happy with my decision.
I've also been warning everyone I can get my hands on to avoid using that employment agency.

Meh misread the title of the article... "To my one and only love. For Valentines, I've decided to get as far as humanly possible from you..."
Actually, what would be great?
If the npcs focussed on players with similar names to the Big Names.

You don't have to be Kreskin to predict GoogleMap's future. The writing's on the floor.

It's amazing how easily one can get around complex machinery with the use of a pocket knife, some lint and chewing gum if one has the knowhow...
