English and Music graduate takes job as a human scarecrow
In a rather strange turn of events an English and Music graduate has taken up a role as a human scarecrow. The job sees him spend 8 hours a day tasked with keeping partridges away from the field of oil seed rape, for this job he receives £250 a week.
Graduate Jamie Fox, 22, graduated this year with a degree in English and Music and ideally would like to work in music and so has been putting his time to good use learning to play the ukulele. Rather than being down beat he’s is in good spirits about it all commenting "This is much better than being at home on unemployment benefit….If I'm reading a book or playing an instrument, time passes and there are moments that are fantastic."
He is only in the role for the moment as he’s saving up to travel to New Zealand, but is aware of the harsh environment meeting many graduates as some of his friends "have been unfortunate” in their search for graduate jobs but rather refreshingly he says “you never know what hand life will deal… you've got to take every opportunity you find".
