(useless) information

A 26yr old female whose brain is powered by caffeine; without its main fuel source it has a working speed slower than that of a slug. That aside, she wishes she could grow a teeny weeny bit (read: a lot) taller and constantly whines about her weight. Enjoys devising novel ways to traumatise people with her bludders. Oh, and she is rather antisocial.

To log in to my blog on a beautiful Friday, only to find out that some rude and bohliao guy had used my blog post without permission in an email to the dean of Science Fac of NUS, totally ruined my day.

In that post, I had complained about the poor job prospects in the Life Sciences industry. I'm not afraid to admit I wrote that, because it IS a fact that graduands with higher degrees are preferred to those holding basic degrees especially if they're looking for a research-based job.

So now, I'm pissed, to the extreme, because:

1. He used blog posts, including mine, without permission.

2. He seems to think that a basic degree in Science is enough for him to get a well-paid job.

3. He doesn't seem to understand that a basic degree in Science is NOT enough for employment in the Science field, especially for research jobs.

4. He seems to think that it's the universities' responsibility to help him get a job.

5. He made it seem like everyone in Science faculties in universities all over the world are evil schemers whose only aim in their lives are to con innocent, unsuspecting kids into Life Sciences and ruin their lives. Look, the universities do not FORCE people to get into courses, WE made the choices ourselves. Don't shift the blame to the unis if you entered into a course which you don't like or regret choosing.
.

.
Enough of ranting.

Anyway, he ended off his email with 'I will be doing a lot of stuff to stay alive, probably in other areas, other than life sciences'.

Yes, Edmund, please do. I'm happy for you that you think that way. May I suggest you start off with not sitting in front of your computer for hours on end, skimming through the internet for 'reference blogposts' to back your arguments up. Go outside, watch a movie, or just take a walk and get some fresh air.

And please, ask for permission if you want to use other people's posts for your 'arguments' next time. We're already ranked very low in terms of politeness, don't drag it down further.

Grr.
