give a shit about PCs. They got their jobs because their bosses thought they'd
make good employees, not because of their IT knowledge skills. It's the same
everywhere, employers value certain qualities, notably compliance, deference,
the ability to look the part in a suit tie, way above things like initiative
genuine enthusiasm. A real enthusiast would soon get weeded out of places
like Dixons, because they'd see what a shabby ripoff the operation is, might
feel inclined to treat customers with a little honesty. So they employ people
who are more interested in things like personal grooming, haircuts footwear
than IT. But blame the bosses for this, not people who're just trying to earn a
crust.
