    I say to my girls that they are perfectly welcome to do any job that requires no qualification but point out to them all the people we know that love their job and have nice houses & lives have decent qualifications.

    95% of people will benefit from lifelong learning, I have seen jaded junior admin people blossom when they have been trained. That may not be college but is allowing potential to come out.

    For years we have been saying don't close good schools make the other ones better, the Acadamies have turned around the dreadful schools in my area. My Eldest goes to an Academy that used be a school that only had a reputation for training for prison, its now massively over subscribed.

    The problem I see with cleaners - there are two main ones from the mummy set, one does it cash in hand while claiming and the other fits it around being a stay home mum her hubby being a tradesman, is that its a hobby business. Both have suggested they tail off trying to please a client after a while. Though if you look at £15 an hour with no barrier to entry its actually a quite attractive little business.

      vetran - you're not wrong.

      Like you said, £15 an hour aint bad. If it your own business I dont know why you'd make a crap attempt of it...

      And I don't go for all this. I'm a poor cleaner, my job is crap, the moneys crap, look at you sitting in your office earning loads. Do something about it - go to college. Get a better job if you hate it so much.

      I'm a firm believer that 99% of people can do something at college if they make an effort. Not many people too thick to do even something, and same for your background.

      Really does my chunk when you see people of TV moaning because they're from an area with no jobs and what are they supposed to do its not their fault! Get off your arse and get an education.

        It's almost as bad as listening to the well off prattling on how they can't get a decent cleaner.

          why? everyone else isn't subsidising the cleaner sitting on their arse.

            Prattling is prattling.

                    Perhaps something terrible has happened to her. Or perhaps she got a better rate elsewhere and decided to bin you.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      Is it a growing trend?
