This comment " Thinking that you know all is sometimes a window into one's personality" is rather telling because I can honestly say from the 1,300 posts that HR has written on this site that he doesn't claim to know all.

Ok, so lets forget about all that nonsense and get on with the task at hand. The task at hand is not to whinge and whine about how bad the country is or what you think about HR personally but rather to find a sustainable income for yourself.

...or...maybe I'm being too practical again, maybe the aim of the thread is to do nothing other than whinge and whine about how terrible life is in South Africa.

Adrian, of all of the comments on the thread I valued your input the most. Not that I do not appreciate all the other comments. I agree with what you say but I get the impression that everyone making a comment feels that he is right. I am no different. I have some experience in the workplace (senior management positions for international companies for over 25 years) and one thing I have learn't is that have respect and value others opinion and (believe it or not) I learn from it but as everyone will react, I do not take kindly to personal attacks.
It is interesting to hear what other views are (we are entitled to them) but let's do it in a manner where it is beneficial to all. It is fine to disagree with me or anyone else but there is a certain manner in which it is done or approached.

I am seeking both avenues in making a living, either to seek employment or to get financial investment to manufacture my idea. I think that we all started somewhere and we are not all blessed the same.

You have a great day
