well tell me why youth unemployment is so bad then ? do you think that employers would not pay young people just out of school junior wages if they did a decent days work out of all the young people we have had through lately we had one that was timed during an eight hour day going to the toilet for three hours a day on average and just sitting down reading or someting ( they have security cameras at work ) another one lent his bike to a mate so said he was unable to ride to the station to catch a train to work we checked his address 2 blocks from the staion but it was to hard for him to do it he also turned up whenever he felt like it and averaged about 20 hours a week out of 38 .I am HIGHLY offended by your comments. I have worked my ass off since I was about 10 years old. I used to carry bricks around for a builder all day every weekend for 2 years, I got 5 dollars a day, and I never uttered one word of complaint. I volunteer my time to 2 of the local wildlife parks, I have volunteered for over 5 charites and still do. I do over 7 hours of homework per night. If thats not work ethic then I dont know what is. Its people like you that make it hard for the youth of Australia to get a job.. sure some kids you know have poor work ethic, but its unfair for you to say that the work ethic of Australia declines with every generation...what a load of CRAP!!
another one also loved the 20 hour a week full time job and when he was ther he was either hungover or to stoned to do anything you need more examples ?
Maybe my statement was to generalized but when you have been working 60 + hours a week for the last 6 months and you have people like this that you have to carry cause they cant be bothered to turn up !
also i worked on weekendsdoing jobs too i started when i was 8 grinding welding and painting i beams for one of the blokes my dad worked for on saturdays as well as mowing lawns and anything else i could do I also left school when i was 14 and hve been working since then remarkably i have only worked at 2 places the one where i did my apprenticeship for 5 years then 8 years at another place ( we worked some weeks 7 days a week from 5 am till 11 pm ) now i am back where i did my apprenticeship for 4 years
AS I SAID BEFORE MAYBE IT WAS TOO GENERALIZED BUT MY EXPIERIENCE SHOWS WHERE I AM COMING FROM .
MAYBE YOU SHOULD COME AND SEE US YOU SOUND LIKE YOU WANT TO WORK !
