They should have exams in shelf-stacking, and till-operation, because they seem to be the growing industries lol

The education system seems to be a complete farce.
They spend too much time on stuff that doesn't apply to everyday life (quadratics,Hook's Law), and not enough on stuff that matters (basic maths,good english).
