Not at all. I have a son who has just graduated. This is an apprenticeship. How much are they paying her? Some things are more important IMO.
Google tells me it's £2.65 an hour. Woop de do!

So it is better to be unemployed than to have an apprenticeship? :eek:0 -

Not necessarily but if I had to choose between a family landmark birthday holiday and sweeping up other peoples hair clippings it would be a no brainer.
£2.65 an hour is taking the p***."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -

There is nothing wrong with a 17 year old with few (no?) qualifications earning £2.65, especially when that includes training in their desired field.
I wish your son luck in finding work - hopefully he has a better attitude than you.0 -
I'd rather pay him £2.65 an hour myself not to undervalue himself. If he can't find reasonably paid work in the UK I will probably offer him the plane fare to Australia or New Zealand and he can try his luck there."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0

I may be wrong but I don't think they let you in to Australia unless you already have a job. Not sure about New Zealand though, they do have an awful lot of sheep that need looking after:)0 -
