Dole Cheats

just the usual flock of high peaked burberry caps matched ever so nicely with a dark moonshadow blue waterproof jacket, branded shoes that will see you through to your grave, which also enable you to climb rocks?
And the piece de resistance, the tracksuit trousers which fcuks up the whole outfit !

stylish.....fcuk yeah

Perfect description

I think someone before was saying about qualifications being needed etc.

To be honest it varies, depending on what job ur after.

Take for example myself, Fairly good gcse's, 1xGNVQ Distinction, and im now an ICT Technician earning around £15k pa

My mate left school with no quals, so he took an apprentiship as an Electrician, now hes 21 and hes on 24k and his brother, same scenario but is 28 is on 34k pa now.

Makes u sick dont it!

Wish id done an apprent. now.

true....short term...but long term as u have the qualifications and will gain the experience u can move further and further up...a lot of the time these ppl who get "lucky" i suppose may earn more to start with...but tend to be stuck at the same level forever!

Umm, but in time will your wage not go up Joe?

I was going to do an apprentichipe in accountancy, but decided to do A levels instead (which am doing now) then hopefully going to uni to do a degree. In my case i was told that if i had A levels and a degree behind me then later on i will bebefit by getting paid more than those who do an apprentichipe.

not true

the joy of apprenticeships is that you get to study as well as getting real world experience.

therefore - at the end of the apprenticeship you have experience AND qualifications - the best of both worlds.

and lets face it - theres no substitute for experience, no matter what anyone says.

how flamin cheek!, im not joe!, just use a slightly altered version of him for my avatar!, aye itll go up but if my mates gettin 28k at the age of 28 that would do me fine

sarah's in trouble when joe see's this

hows its altered? is there a yellow thing on the pocket ?
and a thing coming outta his head like a green thing or summat?

lmao

whoopsi

i have an excuse though, av been at work all day and am knackered

from college after this year its off to uni for me. possibly maths or physics or something that will give me access to joining the RAF to fly planes.

Come out after ten years. join easyjet for £50k a year. after ten years there, become captain for £75k a year and that aint including yearly bonuses!

qualifications i believe is the only way.
my mam has had many change of career in her life, including doing a degree at the age of 46 to get a 2-1 in english and history. then a pgce and is now and english teacher !


starting from scratch later on in life is sooo hard, I know !

umm, yea but lets say when am 40 nad am sick of doing the same job and decide i want a change of career- i will have nothink really which would be relavent except my GCSE's, i would have no A levels and would basically have to start from scratch

read my post again - and remember what av told u before tho sarah

u wud get to study during ur apprenciceship as well. goto college, get ONCs/HNCs etc...

lot of employers would also put u thru a degree....

plenty to fall back on

the added bonus is u get paid the whole time :groovy:

Well am quite happy doing ma A levels, and ma weekend job.

Although i dont get a lye in anymore

EEK

thats then
