Plan to award medals for going to work

After successive admirations made it impossible to educate children with innate vocational skills to get on in life, other than to join the armed forces and be shouted and shot at, the government is wondering whether a scheme to entice youngsters to get off their arses and get a medal for everyday they turn up to work, will be advantageous to the economy.

The scheme is based on observations youngsters with excellent academic abilities who did well at school, went to university and left with decent degrees, took jobs in MacDonald's, earning promotion through stars they gained; and among those who managed to survive an entire day, are now candidates to become the next BBC Director General.
