Pop goes the psychology
Like most of us, Leaving Cert students will be curious to learn the salary levels of psychologists who state the blindingly obvious.
After all, how much intelligence does it require to conclude that a man (Treasure Island's Jack who vividly described the joy of eating a burger and chips) is hungry?
Yet, the show's producers deem it necessary to inflict on us such banal, pseudo-intellectual psychoanalysis.
As the next generation of career-seekers will ask, how much money do these people earn for imparting such pearls of wisdom? If it's enough to buy a few coconuts and illegal crisps on Treasure Island, then send me a CAO form now.
