I'm drinking Assam in a pink mug.

My tea is Ceylon, how very posh we are

I bet you two get out the bath before you go for a wee, n'all.

I don't actually have a bath as I had a shower put in instead, the idea of sitting in my own dirt is just repellent

They could well have been young English men with Masters. It's nothing new here unfortunately.

I also have got a huge complex that I have got no education at all and when I heard them telling their degrees ... I wanted to become invisible. Or disappear from my chair.[/QUOTE]
Don't be daft.

Unfortunately a degree of any level here does not guarantee you a good job.Reversley you can have no degree and have a good job on occasion.

Don't be intimidated by them, they're ordinary people and if their degrees and experience were worth anything then they would be somewhere else.

[QUOTE 4624982, member: 21629"]Easy to say "don't be daft". I had a perfect chance to change my life and what I've done? I wasted that chance. I had a chance to become a GP, a surgeon or any other medical specialist. For free. Years go by and I understand more and more clear what terrible mistake I've done. I was able to be a respectable specialist instead of being a zero and being treated as a zero.

I am daft ![/QUOTE]
What's done is done. Today marked a new start. Things are on the up for you. So you have to start at the bottom again but you are working.

You know better than most the effect of not working can have on a persons mental state. Do not dwell on the past, concentrate on the future because yours is pretty bright.

I have a degree, and a professional qualification roughly equivalent to a degree, and I don't have a well-paid job.

Also, the people who gave you the job don't seem to think it matters.
