I've never acted immaturely, nor have I ever failed to realise the consequences of my actions; however, each to his own. 3) I have experienced the 'business', IBS field – having worked overseas for a period on trade and market research throughout the degree. Perhaps you chose the wrong areas to major in? 4) You're insight into personal injury and trade law have given me something to ponder. I was not trying to dissuade you from being interested in those areas of law. If you miss out on one of these three components, your attractiveness as a graduate slumps. Having perused the Hay's salary guide, I'm not sure if other's have? If not, does law require a gifted, incredible 'super student'. Regards, Comity.

theconversation Looking back on the changes in office design over the past 30 years, it is easy to see why some employees feel as if they have been subjects in a giant ongoing experiment. For decades the office has moved from private, to open plan and more recently, no desk at all. These changes have been driven almost simultaneously by the push to reduce real estate cost and to also increase collaboration among employees. While savings in real estate costs appear to have been achieved, the negative effects of the open plan office on employees have now been well documented. A large body of research shows these offices are noiser; employees have difficulties concentrating and are unable to hold private conversations. The promise of increased collaboration in open plan appears to have very little evidence to support the idea. Given all this evidence, it is perhaps unsurprising that a recent study by Oxford Economics found the impact of open-plan office design is far greater than executives realise.
