Turn your talent to teaching.

Or, indeed, social work, why not? And don't the prospects appear so ‘idyllic’, when re-enacted upon the TV, ‘rewarding’ in the extreme? But, if things are quite so ‘rosy’ in these professions, as our 'wise' and 'benevolent' leaders would have us believe, why is it that a cash-strapped government, in the depths of a recession, is spending Lord alone knows how much upon recruitment advertising? You might well ask!

'Valued' workers in the 'forward-thinking' UK, come and join the party?

Factor in the likelihood of honest government representation, as conveyed through these advertisements- remember that adverts, by their very nature, are  at best subjective, almost always highly selective and frequently extremely misleading- and you’re possibly beginning to get a clearer picture of the situation. As a general rule professions that pay well and offer a great deal of spiritual reward, where the workforce is highly regarded, tend not to need a great deal of expensive advertising. Are they also still offering some sort of bribe to new entrants to the teaching profession?

Reading between the lines, I would say that this situation is more indicative of professions that are haemorrhaging their workforces, rather than those (government 'infomercials') that are ‘represented’ upon our TV screens almost every night of the week.

But let’s be fair to Mr Woodhead and others of his ilk, before we draw the obvious conclusion where teaching is concerned; the one that is screaming to be drawn. He, and they, would not have been able to vent such effective distain upon the teaching profession if they hadn’t been appointed to do just that by a number of almost equally spiteful Education Secretaries, would they?

At least, when the Faerie race chooses to act out their unfortunate games upon the unsuspecting youth of today, it can almost certainly be assumed that spite is not high on the agenda. These actions are more like those of an ‘ignorant’ child pulling the wings from a crane fly, just to discover how it will react.
