The future of burger flipping

Nearly 1500 students from schools in Exeter and Mid Devon attended a major jobs fair that took place in Exeter University's Great Hall to find out how unqualified they were for their dream jobs.

More than forty employers manned stalls hoping to coax the younger generation into flipping burgers with them.

Apparently there were representatives from some of the region's colleges at the event as well as employers from the big city like the Met Office and smaller, more realistic targets to aim for, like hairdressers.

Of course, those lucky individuals that end up tossing beef patties can still earn the equivalent of an A-level course as a "basic shift manager". Exciting stuff.

The future's bright, no wait, it's pretty crap actually if you're going to one of our failing city schools.
