Think DS1 may well be a job snob. Sadly his JC work coach definitely is. The Job Centre coaches have over the last 2 years told him they would not put him forward for jobs because they are - I kid you not - I went mental, 'jobs for Indians' ???????? or 'not for people with A levels' or 'not your sort of people' ?????
Call me weird but I thought people went to work to do a job and get paid for it.
DH is a job snob, always has been, because he did awful farm jobs when he was a teen and got paid well below the going rate by his mum's friends who wanted manual labour.
I don't care if I work inside or outside as long as it is long hours with a date the contract ends - I have to have an exit strategy.
DS2 is just plain lazy
