Just me having a gripe!

its a crazy world cazzer, whilst in many cases they do want to pay peanuts, me lad is told frequently hes over qualified when he applies fer positions.:confused:

One thing I never understand is that employers require people with experience, but how are the applicants supposed to get the experience if no-one will employ them?

The greatest joy about being an oldie is not being expected to work
Thirty five years full time was enough for me - glad to be out of the rat race:)

Know what you mean cashy , guess its a sign of age, for no known reason you start to read the obituaries and then you start to recognize names and think "****** me" I know him/her,

just as an aside , this is one reason why the local press is important to preserve in the internet age ......its the only place where you get information like this .....a buddy of mine from Australia recently sent me a link to the Accy Observer about an old teacher from Accy tech who had passed on .
