Positive thread title eh lol
I know we touched on it earlier this week talking about apprenticeships but is it just me or is the work ethic of teenagers coming up now into the full time working world nowhere near as good as it once.
I remember someone speaking to me saying how they would get an apprentice in and if they weren't a manager in 2 weeks on 40k they would just decide it wasn't for them and would leave and pursue their career to become a famous youtuber or whatever.
Do Paper rounds not even exist anymore or something as that was where I cut my teeth at 13 year old going out in the cold each month for £5 a week or some equally rubbish pay.
There 'seems' to be a real sense of entitlement from the 18/19 year olds coming into work where if they aren't paid ££££ then it's not worth doing.
Is it schools fault do you think for not preparing them realistically for the real world. You wouldn't believe how many people I've encountered who are 19/20/21 years old, still live at home yet have a car on HP - What happened to running your old banger of a car that you get at 17 into the ground!!
Maybe it's just me and at 36 I now see things differently but I really do think the hard graft culture of my generation seems to have bitten the dust and if something isn't handed to the current generation on a plate they just seem to implode and give up!
