Ratreeper 441 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 "if you are at uni and don't get a job untill you are in your twentys will you be expected to work when you are 70 +" Yes, my generation no doubt will be working far longer than you, and without a pension. Also my generation pays more to live, can't buy houses, can't get any finance/mortgage and many can't get jobs. So sorry if I don't shed a tear for your plight of being a manual worker who pays tax. If its really about that, no offence but manual work doesn't generally pay as well, so you probably won't have paid as much in those 50 years as someone on a decent salary pays in 5. Sorry, just sick of people complaining when your generation have had it very easy indeed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, just sick of people complaining when your generation have had it very easy indeed. regards the salary thing you are right, but regards people's occupation i think you are wrong. When you get 60-65 to carry on to do a heavy manual job would be hard. Your mind might want to , but your body wont. And that what the post is about, to carry on after to 70 years old . And to be honest if you were a Boss, you would want to get the (best) out of your workforce . And if it was heavy manual work you wont with a 69 year old man 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,217 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I reckon less of the b*****ds should go to uni, all most of them do is get pissed and try to get laid, which they could do on the weekends and do some real work in the week. Does my head in, most of them don't give a f**k about what they are studying, its just a chance to not work, rack up a debt and party. Alright except that we're paying for it with tax, and when their done they cant get a job anyhow. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just leave the degrees like law or science that are useful. You can do degrees in Surfing, Golf, even David Beckham ffs. Get rid of geography as well its only there for people wanting to become geography teachers. :whistling: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just my opinion but these "elite" jobs are a big part of the problem,administration,dentists,solicitors...ect arent worth their money,its legal stealing,ill even include some doctors in that as well,they all take to big a slice of the cake. You would be sick if you didnt have a hospital,house or water coming out of your tap,without us "lesser" beings you wouldnt have f..ck all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you realise how daft it sounds moaning about having to pay more for the cost of living these days when the wages have more than gone up in proportion to make up for it? Despite the current economic situation, the general public's quality of life is much better now than it was when I was growing up... I don't know how you can say that anybody who can remember living through the bad times of the ''s has 'had it very easy indeed.' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
