my nephew has already done some teaching and has done teaching assistant when he did the uni course as that was part of it but saying take the assistant job is like saying a doctor should be a nursing assistant.
I'm waiting for all the fun as i know the dole will give me loads of jobs as i have had alsorts of experince but i can't do them anymore on doctor's advising me that if i carry on doing physical work i will end up in a wheelchair when my back decide's to pop the l5 disc in my back again but hopefully after seeing disability adviser will come up with a plan to get me back into work and i really want to not live on the medication that i take everyday as doctor actually prescribes less medication to cancer sufferer's than what i take.

I'm trying to think of a suitable job that i can do but something i won't hate after 2 weeks as i have always done hands on work of some sort or other.

Lairds are still there but don't take on as many as they used too plus getting an apprenticeship these days is really hard then again most places have gone as the country imports so much these days as it's cheaper to do that than to pay a workforce.

The list would be endless Derek, i can't even remember most of them that would need to go on the list, the sad thing about it is, those type of employers and the levels of manpower they employed, will never come back.

I'll just end up repeating myself. Suffice to say that when I was out of work in the 70's I joined up again, yep even as an old man, and was told I would have to start at the bottom again, which I did. The money was crap, I was even getting supplementary benefit while I was in, but I did it because I would be working and also it was a foot in the door for better things. In the event it was and I did a further 23 years so I am only speaking from my own experience. Must admit that it was harder in the 7 years I had just spent as a civvy because I was institutionalised but I still got stuck in.

There's been plenty of jobs over the past 15 years, the same people won't help themselves, they will forever want to sit at home, getting up at 14:00 just in time for Jeremy Kyle, after a heavy night on the weed/ale playing the Xbox etc, with of course the weekly inconvenience of visitng the dole office, every day for the rest of their lives... And the rest of us are just going to have to keep paying for it, till we die.

Labour did nothing about it, instead they made life more and more comfy for the scroungers than ever before, and then they walloped any hope of these people ever getting jobs, by promoting immigration and indeed made it easier than ever for immigrants with the abolition of the Primary Purpose rule a few months after they came to power in 97, and stupidly left an open-door for the Eastern-Europeans in 2004, when most other EU countries had locked down their boarders to citizens from the new EU expansion countries, which meant almost a million jobs went to Eastern European citizens instead of pushing the scroungers into them, and they finished off all hope of them ever getting job, by screwing the economy and not having saved a bean, during the boom years, for when the inevitable bust happened, but instead getting us into unsustainable amounts of public debt.

And now finally we have a coalition prepared to stand up for the hard working people for a change, and take on the scroungers, but unfortunately the timing is bad, and there is no longer jobs to put them into.

I hope to god im wrong, but I have a sneeky suspicion that the same scrounging folk who were long-term, permanent unemployed over the past 7 years, will still be long-term, permanent unemployed in 7 years time.

have to agree zippy, this thread should be about the fact that too many young girls, barely in high school, drop their drawers ....

So it should be Rocket, but as you know we always get blown of course. Matt makes a valid point, so is it time to stop outsiders filling British jobs?

The morality of fourteen year old girls and boys for that matter has nothing to do with what benefits are available, otherwise we are suggesting that young boys and girls from working families don't get in to trouble, of this nature.

no bert, as usual this has been turned onto a employment vs unemployed and who should have what thread....

i am talking from the point of teenage pregnancy, despite social backgrounds or employment status....think britain has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in europe....

considering there is;
better and improved sex education in schools
free condoms
free contaception and advice
from centres who do a brilliant job like the brook...

young girls are still getting pregnant....

why is this
is it because

this country
provides housing with free rent and council tax
provides benefits
provides so many hours a week, free childcare places to 2 year olds

hey if the girls attend college they get full time free childcare, as soon as the mother wants to go on a course.....

some young girls view this as a meal ticket....a way to get away from home and have their own money......

am not disputing the fact that young girls need help, there should be choices...not a smorgasboard of benefits and free help,

this just shouldnt be left to the young girls neither, the young lads responsible for dipping their wick should face the reality of the situation and be responsible for their own actions

go on facebook and you will see them going on about what tattoo they are going to get next week, or how many fosters and lads they have around their home...

thanx courtesy to the taxpayer
