One for the youngsters leaving school

[Edbear]

Thought this was interesting and wondered how our younger people are getting on out there. Jobs a are still hard to get for anyone, but do let us know from your persepctive, how are you finding it?

Not exactly the same but back in the States plenty of friends I went to university with are struggling to find decent work. Some are pondering doing graduate work but then again that's even more expensive in the States then undergraduate work...

So-so. I still feel there are the same number of low end jobs out there. I ended up HAVING to work back in the arena where my work experience was, no one wanted to hire me on minimum wage - always wanted a young-en.
Fair enough s'pose, I have had my fun at $10/hr.
Their time to shine and all that.

I have a 16 year old who's not leaving school because he's never been there.He has a part time job he goes to every day,his boss is very pleased with him and will be employing him full time soon...he hopes.He's doing what interests him,so he'll be getting into something that's in the right direction for him.

all i'd say is get into a job that you enjoy. if not, move on until you do - i'm still at the same company i started at when i left school (13 yrs ago)..... ok should prob have left, but have had some really good times, and met some awesome people!!!!
