Takes 16 years post graduate study and costs c£4.2m to qualify so it’s quite tricky to get into

Thats rubbish, I started aged 13 with only a swimming certificate.

You need to ask Balonz

To be honest there are better jobs avaliable. It's not all its cracked up to be.

BandyAid · 24/08/2026 21:54

It's very very niche.

I did a YTS, easy really…

I'd give you all the information but I am going for the same job too and its MINE ALL MINE and I am NOT sharing it.

You need to prove you can use apostrophes correctly.

Delphiniumandlupins · 24/08/2026 22:16

If you have to ask you're not suitable

I think the position of wonderwoman has already been filled.

Chosen for the greater good.

So the first really important step is identifying what the fuck you're talking about. Then it's mostly luck and also letting others know what the fuck you're talking about too.

I just sort of fell into it really, my Gran had it to start with then passed it to my Mum but now I'm doing it, put in a lot of hours but don't mind as making a fair few bob from it.

By the age of 20 you need to have 25 years experience or you wont even get a look in. If you havent gained your qualifications by the time you are a 4 week old embryo theres no point trying im afraid.

I just filled in a form in Facebook and got the job immediately

FurForksSake · 24/08/2026 22:30

I could tell you. But then I’d have to kill Ylu.

I heard that AI is taking all the jobs in that line of work so it would be a waste of time and money training.

GaaNeen · 24/08/2026 22:35

….. the next time you see the line, join it from the back ….. ?

Call a referendum run through corn fields, hang off a zip wire, take on a lettuce, not know how to pay with a card, be the child of a tool maker or go on lots of public transport. beware you won’t last long, but you can always make a fortune lecturing on peace afterwards

Skatefordinner · 24/08/2026 22:50

You mean knitting work? Oh you cast off not line off don’t you? I remain as confused as everyone else in that case but do let us know as I’m interested in this line off work too.

They recruited me when I was at Cambridge. Remembering all the code names is a pain, but there's lots of travel and I usually make money in the casinos.
