As an avid reader of this forum, I hate to make its current trend towards negativity any bleaker, but I couldn’t help pointing out the front page splash on today’s Irish Daily Mail.
Screaming hysterically out on newsstands across the land:
DESPERATE ARCHITECTS BEGGING TO TO WORK AT McDONALD’S
Professionals queue up for jobs at burger bar
Well my first thought was that these “desperate architects” were queueing up in the mistaken belief that a ‘McDonald’s job’ meant a cushy number designing one of their restaurants.
However, other professionals mentioned in the text included bankers and (I think) engineers: surely the bankers would be a more notable group to highlight? Since when did architects deserve to be held up above those involved in the destruction of the economy?!
