 Most of us would dearly love a cushy number - a job which combines the maximum rewards with minimal work.
 But the definition of a cushy job has changed in an era of corporate downsizing, economic uncertainty and a slowdown in the housing market.
 There are loads of really talented but unqualified people who never get a chance to shine for one reason or another and there are loads of crapsters and bullshitters who land a cushy deal.

 The stupidity of such classroom grind is usually obvious to the children forced into it, if not to their teachers.

 The problems and assignments presented are real problems and assignments, and the people involved are real people, all suitably disguised to protect their identity.
 5 data collection instruments were used: printouts of data base searches executed by students; a questionnaire; bibliographies from student papers; serial holdings of the university library; and interviews with instructors.
 An authority entry is an entry for which the initial element is the uniform heading for a person, corporate body, or work, as established by the cataloguing agency responsible.
 For instance, if children are doing a project work on dogs, they will hunt out anything and everything that so much as mentions them and the bits thus mined are assiduously transcribed into project folders.
