But, Kevin, you must remember that the job market in the UK is different
than ours. I have a friend, named Linda, who works for Cadbury in quality
control with no other education than her US high school diploma... A
European company will train you for what you need to know; a US company
won't hired you unless you already know it.....
Lynda doesn't see why Sarah wants to read about doing something when she can
just start doing it!
