i think it should be 'get a trade, youll always get work... how much work, however, depends on how much there is to be had..'
trades i.e. people with skills and experience have been devalued of late in favour of people with peices of paper that say a blokes been round and taken a picture of you...
nowadays it seems to be 'get a peice of paper and youll get work, doesnt matter if you can cut it or not..'
my philosophy (which has evolved over the years) is....
if the government introduced 'skills cards' to combat poor practice, then why is it that this came about in the first place?
if the 'site agent' isnt happy with the work, surely he just bins the 'tradesman' responsible?
nope... the site agents fine with it, in fact he's gloriously happy cos he's gettin a big fat bonus for gettin the work done as cheap as possible...
its the end user who notices the poor workmanship...
and you get what you pay for...
what the f'ck do these people expect for shite money?
so maybe it should be 'work for f'ck all and youll never be out of work...' :-X
