"When I was at university, I wanted a summer job," said a man sitting next to me at dinner, "and I had a choice. I could be a journalist, or a berger."
"A berger?" I said. "You mean, someone who herds sheep?"
"Oui, exactement. Well, I wanted to be a berger-- I thought it would be more interesting. I was imagining having the whole day long to read. But to become a shepherd in France, you had to take an exam."
"An exam!" I said, astounded. "What on earth for?"
"Oh, you know. The sheep could fall down and you might have to bandage its leg, I don't know. To become a journalist, there was no qualification. So, I became a journalist! Ha ha ha, I always tell my journalist friends it is easier to become a journalist in France than to herd sheep!"
Hilarious, but there is no exam for becoming 'President de France'
so it seems that the higher you aim ...
the leaast qualifications are required.
and not only in France..
