Graduate Salaries

Standard Life, my benevolent employers base their salaries on the industry standard salaries, checking them twice yearly to make sure the pay grades are reasonable.

Which is why this is good news.

Thinking about the answers

There's a National Geogrpahic quiz doing the rounds, along with results showing that 85% of American's can't find Afghanistan. Strangely, I can't either. I have a vague clue where it is (borders with Pakistan) but nothing more than that.

What I find most interesting is the furore over the fact that only 89% of Americans can find the US on a map. I don't know how controlled the sample is, but if it's truly randomised then that actually doesn't sound unreasonable, as about 10% of people have an IQ of 80 and lower. I'm not surprised that those people can't find the US on a map.
