Some radio thing about couriers and messengers on in 15min

Just listened to this. Erm. The presenter does talk about us in that curiously anthropological way that some middle class people have when discussing anything outside their own experience or view of life. And there was the classic spirit-deadening assumption that education is for something (primarily getting a 'good' job) rather than an end in itself.
They took their cue from the alley cat section of the courier doc to which I contributed and my main complaint about that doc was that it gave the impression we all race and that there is one 'messenger culture'. Whereas alley cats are really a sub-culture within a sub-culture. It was odd that he had all the figures about age and education and so on but not about how many couriers race; which is just as well as it would have undermined the premise of the conversation.
They were right about the comradely aspect though and that is something I love about my job. It's a shame it's never translated into organised or unionised action but still.
There are interesting discussions to be had about work and I notice on this forum that they don't take place much; how many of you enjoy your jobs? What do you do, for that matter? And is what you enjoy intrinsic to the work or a by product of it? How do you sleep at night if your job is to make adverts?
As a final note; if you subtract all the injuries couriers suffer as a result of cycling home from the pub blind drunk then it is actually a safer job than being a primary school teacher. But you'll never hear that on Radio 4.
