What a mind-job


"My gf went for a interview for the post of statistician at the Dept of Statistics of Singapore this morning. She had to sit for a written test. Guess wat the questions were?
  1. Increase in GST will improve the economy. True or false.

  2. The workfare scheme will enhance the employability and increase the savings of the older working population. Discuss.
Can you belive they actually asked these kind of questions?"

I read the above from here. I am impressed! The Department of Statistics (DOS) is really good at making sure that they employ the right type of statistician! Maybe that's why they can come up with creative terms like "Singapore resident". Haha! This is how one would describe the job of a statistician employed by the Matrix Master:

Cypher: What a mind-job.

that's why i always say civil servants are useless scums and dogs. Anyone who has any dignity and integrity will leave the civil service.

Statistic is like woman in bikini, what it reviews is interesting but what it conceals is much more facinating.
