Where is best to live in Sheffield for young professionals?

Yeah, resorting to evidence. Whatever will I pull next.

 

(I agree that there are a minority of ways into various professions that don't required degrees), but I'm fascinated by your in depth knowledge. Can you give us some examples?

Just in case you missed it though, I've highlighted a word.

 

The wiki link isn't evidence of anything.

 

The term is outdated anyway.

 

What does it matter what job you're doing if your earning a wage to pay for where you want to live and can afford it.

 

It's very snobby really.

Re: Snobby, I'll refer you back to my post.

 

Professional generally refers to someone who has a degree. Not that this makes them better people or anything, just what it means.

Is that so? I think most people have a degree today don't they? Maybe Sociology or Criminology or something irrelevant - but that doesn't make you a professional.

 

May have been true 30 years ago though, but not now.

 

Is what so? You've quoted a post with no specific claims and asked if it's so.

 

Nobody ever claimed that having a degree automatically made you a professional.

It gets a little bit tedious constantly explaining basic verbal logic like this... :rant:

Every discussion you have ends up like this. Ever wonder why?

That would mean that over 30 million people have a degree. I don't think so.

 

"In 2013 there were 12 million graduates in the UK."

I think it's because cyclone doesn't tolerate fools gladly. I find it quite exhausting myself, so mostly let it wash over me... except once in a while something will get to me and I'll pull them up on it. It rarely does me any good though and I'm sure the other person isn't any wiser afterwards :D

I don't think it's that at all.

I wonder if young professionals are being conned by estate agents

 

Probably because the term isn't really valid anymore - it can't be defined.

 

It's probably used now as an aspirational thing to make people believe they are bettering themselves by moving to an area "for young professionals".

 

Silly really.

Great pubs though! Also lots of music at Picture House Social (not far), White Lion, Hagglers corner. And some nice eateries by all accounts WaWa and Make No Bones.

 

There's definitely lots going on near the bars/pubs/restaurants you mentioned but that's basically where Meersbrook meets Nether Edge, which is very "trendy" right now, rather than the town end of Heeley near Queens Road the poster mentioned.

Maybe they're moving to areas where there are people they share common interests with, and they have the intelligence to see through any estate agent speak?
