Look, there are what? Nearly a million members? And millions of views a week?
And the Meeja are always telling us how Important we are?
I've had an idea, based on Milburn's report and some recent posts on here...
...What if MN set up an informal or even a formal Work Experience exchange scheme? As you know, people who know peoplein the professions can always get work experience in a desirable workplace. But people who are socially excluded can't.
What if people who worked in the professions negotiated one or two WE placements in their office (lawyers, GP surgeries, firms, head offices or whatever...). I am willing to give it a go but whether an academic job is good advice for a teenager I'm not sure...
It would be a kind of Take Some Random MNer's Kid to Work Day.
I think there would need to be criteria, but what would they be? Or is this just a really bad idea?
