Just been made redundant from Ventura

After four and a half years


Bit of a shame, never mind. Decent pay off.

 

RE: Good luck in your next job

Well, being a student I'm gonna doss around for a few months with my student loan and not get a job until the summer. I've worked for 4 and a half years (from being 16) all the way through my Education this far.

Think I deserve a month or two off (although I'm spending a month teaching in France, so that's kinda working).

Ah well, we'll see.

 

RE: Good luck in your next job

Trust me leaving Ventura is a postive move pal.

 

MUST HAVE A BEEN A HARD TIME EH ?

 

RE: Good luck in your next job

I was only ever here for the pocket money thru 6th Form.

A 16/17 year old won't get £6/hour anywhere else.

Just was convenient to transfer to Leeds.

Been a decent job, part time like. Would kill be being here full time.

 

RE: MUST HAVE A BEEN A HARD TIME EH ?

Unlike your generation which got all its education for free, you sponging shower of *****.

 

RE: MUST HAVE A BEEN A HARD TIME EH ?

I mean, I'm looking at £20,000 debt, minimum, just to be a teacher.

I obviously should pay for the privilege. It's not like we need teachers, doctors and dentists, who all end up in even more debt that me. But it's ok.. let's carry on paying drop outs to do some courses at DVC that lead to nothing instead.

What are you planning to teach ? Only my son is in his second year at Udders !

 

My daughter used to work there and her boyfriend still does but he,s on the I.T; side of things

 

RE: MUST HAVE A BEEN A HARD TIME EH ?

And then you'll be priced out of the housing market because, again, the generation above ours are a greedy, sponging shower of bas-tards that have made it impossible for the average young person to get on the housing ladder.</p>

 

Whoa hold on a minute !!!

I'm the generation above you (I think) and I take exception at the sponging tag. I left school at 16 and worked my way up. I've always paid my taxes to contribute towards the education of people of the generation below me so that they can have a better start than I had. The housing market is supply and demand although the demand is being stimulated by people who don't trust the pension market and are putting money into investment property, so that they feel they can have a reasonable standard of living when they can eventually retire.

 

RE: Whoa hold on a minute !!!

But the taxes you're paying clearly aren't contributing to the (further) education of the younger generation, are they, as those people are paying their own way, the privilege of University funding having been taken away by politicians who had free University education (I actually took my degree in the final year prior to tuition fees coming to pass, so was extremely lucky)</p>

Rental income on second properties should be taxed at 60%, in my opinion.</p>

 

RE: Whoa hold on a minute !!!

double post

 

RE: Whoa hold on a minute !!!

Make that 100% and stop it altogether

 

RE: Whoa hold on a minute !!!

I'm going to be teaching Primary School French.

So basically everything for 7-11 year olds with some French on top.

 

errmmm

my daughters in her 3rd year at scarboro, planning to be a primary teacher. looking a similar debt. She's doing an english degree followed by a year at PCT 

 

RE: Whoa hold on a minute !!!

I did see a proposal a while ago to make council tax double on rental properties and half payable by the owner, the problem would be in preventing this just being passed onto the tenant.
There should be some form of rent control that can be set by local councils, this would be in line with rents on council/housing association properties and private landlords would have to stick to the rent control limits.

 

RE: Whoa hold on a minute !!!

biggest earner is student rental houses.


me and four lads in mid terrace, 4 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom... shabby condition and generally not very nice, £260 a month, each...



£1040 a month in total for a shithole. It's wrong.

 

from which unit? </p>
