And how frighteningly true !!!
The one point about the wages being 'crap' though - what do they expect ??? they are starting a job on the bottom rung with no relevant qualifications and no experience. Why should they earn more than minimum wage, or more than someone in a factory, a cleaner etc... just because their job is considered a bit more flash ?
As with a lot of jobs, I'm sure after 10 years with some exams and a load of experience then they can earn a decent wage.
Compare the min. wage with starting salaries for a lot of graduates, who may have spent 3 or 4 years in UNI, plus 2 years doing A levels and has a big debt from it, and it isnt that bad for someone who has done FA since their GCSE's.
I completely understand the wages/experience/graduate debate. My daughter recently got a decent degree along with a big debt and has struggled to get a reasonable job - the usual Catch 22, no proper experience argument. My son, who didn't go to uni, potters around the County teaching music and earns 4 times the min wage doing what he loves. dl
