Not working all week to have £50 after paying nursery"  she's exactly what I complain about . Does anyone else think this generation is work shy ? I don't think it's fuck all to do with the fact of working all week to pay nursery its because she wants to swan around shops and meet her mates for coffee etc . Grrrr rant

Imo there are plenty of jobs about its just people are either too picky or want it instantly. The job i have now i worked for the lady for free for almost a year while on the doll. Purely because she could afford to train me whilst paying me ( same old storey ) i ended up working there 4 days a week while on the doll getting the experiance. ( I didn't notify the job center of this because they deduct money etc even when you work for free ) It did pay off in the end tho

Well, you'd know if she had £50 or not left after fees, so there's no thinking about it.
I can see where she's coming from, childcare cost us £500 a month when Izzy was there full time. It ain't cheap! No point working if you're worse off, but I'm not going down that road again, done it last week.

Was speaking to a mate about this today, she rents a place for £700 a month. The woman next door gets it off the council and pays nothing as she has 3 kids. Why would that women go get a job as she's going to have to get a damn good job to pay the £700 rent + bills plus then have a decent amount on top to make it worthwhile? Stupid government system and tbh if I was those people I wouldn't bother working either as there's no point when Government are handing out as easy as that

Same, only I'm 23 in May.
I've been unemployed for 6 months twice in that time, but since I started working I've had 7 jobs so it wasn't through lack of trying. Was just the usual stuff you read in the news where I was applying to dozens of jobs I was fully qualified in per week and getting mostly no replies. I was also laid off straight after I got my papers so it was like an uphill struggle to get taken seriously

Child care in this country is ridiculous. There is no way It costs even 50% of the price they charge to look after a kid whilst it's parents are at work. I understand that nurseries etc need to employ lots of staff especially if the kids are toddlers as they are a handful. The government should cut some of the money from unemployment benefits and use it to help pay childminders. That might even help create jobs, but mostly it will make it more sensible for perents to return to work after having kids.

Most nursery workers are on minimum pay, even the higher up ones are only on £7 an hour or so.
Childcare is very expensive, however i'd rather my kid be at nursery interacting with other kids while my missus and I work than them two being at home doing nothing all day, even if we are the same financially.
To answer the question though, had a paper round when I was 12, worked at McDs at 16 while at college, got work experience through college, worked there for a further two years, left that to doss around at uni for 5 years, got a bar job 2 years into uni, failed uni, worked there till I got pissed off, been a postman for 4 years now.

ive worked since leaving school at 16 untill june august last year (20yr old) when i was in a car accident and ive been on the sick since due to a badly broken leg and it still giving me jip from time to time if i attempt to move anything heavy/walk/stand for too long.
Im still applying for jobs as i hate being out of work. I live on my own £260 per month rent, £50 gas, £50 electric each month, £150 on food inc dog food. but since being on the sick im getting Housing benefit etc and im also getting £100 per week for being on the sick, yet a mate of mine works 16hrs a week, and he only earns £300 per month. So i get more money on benefits than he does working part time, and my money is also going up £30 a week in April. Its stupid how everything works in this country!!

Snap, ours has started school now but we still had him in nursery, even though we were possibly worse off.
