Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.
It is great to add some glamour to the food industry, like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry. The flip side of that is unfortunately people think that after they get their qualifications, they get their invitation to compete on 'Top Chef.'
There's more to life than passing exams, and paper qualifications can only take you so far. A lot depends on luck, and on being in the right place at the right time, which was certainly true in my case.
Contrary to what we conclude naturally, the gospel is not too good to be true. It is true! It's the truest truth in the entire universe. No strings attached! No fine print to read. No buts. No conditions. No qualifications. No footnotes. And especially, no need for balance.
The companion of an evening, and the companion for life, require very different qualifications.
When an actor plays a scene exactly the way a director orders, it isn't acting. It's following instructions. Anyone with the physical qualifications can do that.
At one time I thought he wanted to be an actor. He had certain qualifications, including no money and a total lack of responsibility.
We have a society in which one of the greatest things you can do is a platform to see victim status, and one of the qualifications for that is that you have these exquisitely tender feelings about things and sensibilities which are easily offended.
Good education is so important. We do need to look at the way people are taught. It not just about qualifications to get a job. It's about being educated.
If we can modernise the workforce, make them better qualified, have this framework of qualifications, then I think they have a very good case for more money.
