Raposa There’s a push on over here to encourage kids to forgo uni and get a trade.
All the promotional stuff is good looking young ones in crisp, clean overalls, beautiful sunny weather, brand new tools. No broken 50 year old who looks 70, no mention of the early starts, the times you can’t get a start, the conditions you’ll be working in, no one’s soaking wet and covered in shite, no mention of the injury rates.
They tout the rates of pay, all top union scale no mention of the money you won’t earn when the inevitable down turn comes.
