Advantages: Keeps them at bay

Disadvantages: None :)

Anybody who is still at school will no doubt have been pestered by the teacher appointed "Careers Advisor" (note: in inverted commas as it is just a title - asking you what you want to do after you leave school, going "Hmmm" after you answer and asking "Ever thought about teaching ?" does not really constitute advice).

When asked what I wanted to work as when you left school I would always reply "A lollypop man" (person who helps the kids cross the road outside schools).

This would always produce a look of puzzlement from the teacher who would immediately ask why that was and I would simply reply with a big smirk "It means I don't have to start working until I'm sixty-five" (most are very old).

Needless to say they left me alone after that.

(O.K. not a real opinion I know, and I will understand if you give me not usefuls but it does keep those pesky "Careers Advisors" away from you and in my books that is a good thing and useful advice. And I really wanted to share that with you. You can read some of my other opinions if you want just to prove that all my others are proper ones.)
