That person has the skills for the new occupation/s s/he wants to take up but because s/he hasn't used those skills in a full-time job no prospective employer will give him/her a chance. |

I finished University after 4 years learning about software engineering. First job was installing PC's in peoples homes for Comet and Dixons. Didn't dream of whinging about it. Here I am five years later writing software for a living. People like to be poor and moan about it. So many of em can't be bothered to do something about it, they expect everything on a plate. -- MrBitsy |

says... People like to be poor and moan about it. So many of em can't be bothered to do something about it, they expect everything on a plate. Hardly ray. People like to moan granted. but they don't want to be poor. Money doesn't bring happiness, but it makes being miserable a damned site easier. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com |

Asylum seekers? It's ironic, isn't it. It's okay for "our" people to sit on their parasitic arses, but not okay for willing foreigners to do the work no one else is willing to. My solution: One assylum seeler gets to stay; one lazy ******* gets sent to Afghanistan. Problem solved. |

Its only very recently that we have almost full employment, and there are still places where jobs aren't dead easy to get. |
