LOL, yeah right. Thats like saying a surgeon is just the gut who makes the
incisions and ties some knots in string.

The hard bit was the clinical trials leading to that procedure being
approved.


And who do you think does the clinical trials on patients? Some guy on
jobseekers allowance from the dole office?


Someone with greater skills than the average surgeon.


I realise this is usenet, but I would suggest you don't comment on things you
clearly know the square root of bugger all about.

Well isn't it odd how programmers quite easily transition over to management
but you almost never see the reverse happening even though contract coder
salaries can actually be considerably higher in a lot of industries?

Programming is a learnt skill, management is just common sense - any feckin
idiot who can speak in more than one syllable and can learn a few buzzwords
can do it.


QED.


Really? You think because you do a management non job at that vacuous campaign
lobby group its up the ladder from what you did at Amstrad? I'll tell you
something pal, it won't be your current role you'll be remembered for.

Amusing website though your employer has. More buzzwords than a BBC strategy
white paper.
