Oh I guess it is a bit of a poke at the whole education system, but its a bit sad that someone spends so long in education only to be.

Mr Fox, who graduated in the summer with a degree in music and English,

What has he actually been educated to do?

earns about £250 a week scaring the partridges from the 10-acre (four-hectare) field.

Rape yields around 3 tons per hectare and tops out at £400 per tonne.

So £4,800 value for that plot. BHe might only be there a few weeks until it germinates but even a months pay is 20% of the cost.

Makes no sense.

Wish I'd found a job after uni which pays 250 a week! Wish I'd found that job too

It does if the farmer loses >20% of the crop when using more conventional deterrent methods.

It's a pity rape germinates in the closed season for partridge, being given a gun too would make that a top job.
