When is the last time i heard someone saying this?

I have worked in the pharma industry for nine years and for the last 2 years the site was to close pending a buyer.Thankfully that has now happened and i can now look forward to hopefully another ten if not twenty years.

A friend of mine last night asked me a question that i surprised him with the answer.Hes an unemployed Carpenter and asked me whats the best way to get a full time job.

I told him forget he was ever a Carpenter and study in some way chemistry.As you can imagine the look i got wasnt great.

I noticed that in the previous 2 years of limbo that the majority of the jobs that were vacant were in quality assurance/Lab work not just in my company but many others.

I now intend to do some sort of chemistry course not only cause it scares me to think of it but to keep my options really open for the rest my working life.

Previous jobs i had were in mainly warehousing,was a postman and now have landed in Pharma and intend to stay.
