| 1243990 | 2011-11-22 08:59:00 | The records show that some of the world’s greatest achievers never held a degree of any sort and some of the worlds greatest failures did. For my part of the argument I’ll nominate Bill Gates and Richard Branson as two international University dropouts that found they didn’t need a BA. Locally, try Sam Morgan and Bob Jones as other University dropouts who have also succeeded without degrees. Keith Holyoak left school at the age of 12 and did quite well for himself. |

| 1243992 | 2011-11-29 02:45:00 | So no shortage of work for accountants? therefore we just produce more of those . The jobs aren't necessarily there for accountants either, not around Wellington if you're male and older than about 45-50 years . More and more of the senior accountants, finance managers and the like, and especially in the Government sector, nowadays are in their 30s or 40s and are female . Good on them for punching through the glass ceiling, which certainly used to exist in most areas of accounting, but it has made jobs very scarce for anyone who doesn't fit that description . The difficulties are exacerbated by the fact that many (most?) of the HR advisors and recruitment consultants nowadays are also female and in their 20s - 30s . Thus neither the prospective employer nor the recruiter are comfortable dealing with a middle-aged bloke as a job applicant, whom they see as belonging to their parents generation (probably accurately) and likely to be inflexible, with outdated training, knowledge and attitudes . Such applicants almost never get an interview, and frequently don't even get an acknowledgement of their application . I know: I'm a well-qualified and experienced professional accountant, but I went through all the nonsense above several times in the last 15 years, when I was in my late 50s and early 60s, and I'm devoutly grateful now to be on National Super . I mightn't have much money, but I'm free of that awful, demeaning and depressing treadmill . |
