This thread is created in reaction to THIS particular post about the faux outrage of the scientists shirt.
It's this last line that made me think....
"As astrophysicist Katie Mack said earlier this week "I don't care what scientists wear. But a shirt featuring women in lingerie isn't appropriate for a broadcast if you care about women in science"
Nor is it appropriate in the workspace. I guess we are finding out why so many on DS are unemployed."
A pretty damning generalisation about the DS Massive.
So, I wonder... how many here on DS are actually unemployed, and is it as the poster apparently thinks?
Poll options
Employed (inc Self/Voluntary)
Unemployed
Retired
(BTW Kelo - this isn't a personal dig at you so please forgive me for using your post. It just made me think how some people generalise). :kitty:

Try not to make the poll too complicated lol
It's just a straw poll in reaction to the quote from another poster that apparently "so many people on DS are unemployed". ;-)
You are doing a poll based something Keiō Line said? The poster who claimed to know the Queen and Ronald Reagan? Who has a secret group on here that monitors posters? That runs a cat sanctuary that moves round the country? That employs a lady as a receptionist who is blind and deaf*?
*Many more crazy Keiō posts are available that I have forgotten.
Anyway, full time student, was employed up to this and my degree has full time work placements.
Keio also has two noses.
I am a lady who lunches.....occasionally.
To answer the poll, I am employed (well I'm a partner). Why is there an assumption that DS members are unemployed?
Ahh Kelo (can't do the o on the pad, or more like don't know how)
Yup!
Supposedly happily and comfortably retired here after nearly 50 years of full or part time employment. Just got offered and accepted a well paid little job for a few hours a week.
I've also done a variety of voluntary work and still help out with an animal charity.
Why would it count as being employed?
Figures the Government can only dream about!
