Give it a break and lay off the wannabees. They just want a job.
"Ok, so the naive way I see it, GA - Difficult to get a Job. Cadetship - Ripped Off. Defence - 12 in, no way out and you might not end up where you want. So if you really want to enter the industry, How do you do it? The Cadetship might just be a foot in the door...?"
Soooo tired of all those who have jobs and are taking the high moral ground & laying in to the "wanabees".
Cheap shots are easy.
Most of you are in jobs so you can afford to throw barbs. The vast majority of "wanabees" have their hearts & minds (and their$s) in the right place and are willing to do whatever they can..... slogging themselves out stacking shelves, waiting tables, taking sh**t from customers, sleeping in cars, cleaning toilets...to get that first job without sacrificing their integrity. You are so quick to have a go at the "wannabees". How shameful that this industry has reduced itself to be a "johnny on the spot" situation where a CP grabs the first available starter and you create the situation where "starters" have to feel that they are "begging" for jobs by hanging about and accosting CPs.
Well if that is the way it is then you all should TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK. What sort of industry do you want to be associated with?
Sit on the outside throwing barbs....really easy
Why aren't you all looking after your mates and giving them some realistic encouragement??
