And in Australia in '69, think it was, at about 5am when the papers came out first in Sydney in King's Cross i saw an ad for a couple builder's laborers at a job on the other side of Sydney, rushed out there and was first in line so got a job. After operating a jackhammer on the ground and sweeping the ceiling of the 3-story building i thought umm, don't want to do this for the rest of my life so what now.
I saw an ad for casual teachers. They were so short of maths and science teachers they offered casual positions to untrained graduates. The guy on the telephone said don't worry you will watch others teach for a couple of days to get the hang of it. I ended up teaching six classes on the first day by myself. With not one minute of teacher training. The Ed. Dept. lied to me from the start.
LOL it was fun. There started a career i'd never considered before.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
