The way this country is going, young people will be fighting the immigrants for their Deliveroo/Just Eat jobs soon. Or just go on the rock 'n' roll.
It's really tough out there now and I'm glad I'm out of it. I left school at the time of Maggie's Millions (I am a one in ten, etc, etc) and it was nowhere near as tough and competitive as it is now. Even with only a handful of O Levels I walked into a reasonable job. May seem like there's jobs out there now, but there's a higher percentage of low skill, service industry jobs. Good jobs with prospects and liveable wage are dwindling and competition for the few that exist is fierce.
Had to laugh recently. Was sitting in a pub one early evening and a pleasant, smart young lady walked in and asked the LL if he has any jobs going. He said possibly, but can you drop your CV in. CV?? For casual bar work?? Jeez!
