Heard on Five Live this morning some reaction to the graduate employment statistics

(i.e. on average 33 applicants for every graduate position, etc, etc)

They had people texting/emailing in saying "I deliberatly don't employ any graduates, becuase they have no common sense, blah, blah, blah".

I can't remember if I had a point or not when I started writing, so I'm just going to let this trail off limply...

Far too hot and humid for thinking.
