My son got a student guide at school today and in are rates of pay that they can expect whenever they leave school.

Postman/Postwoman - typical hourly rate is Â£12.17

can't wait for my backed pay (neither can my wife)

and school teacher is Â£10.84 per hour

Tis, but often so infrequent its usually propped up by state handouts. Plus teachers have to do prep work at home they don't get paid for - the equivalent of RM giving you letters to sort at home - unpaid.

I live in the same house with one. You can get long periods of work then long ones of zilch. Besides, teachers are qualified.

Compared to the guy who says "you're late today postie, didn't they have your bag ready" so am I. Having a qualification can be determined as a having a vast experience of the job you do and be like comparing the nervous newbie with the "cope with any problem" experienced worker. This applies quite honestly to any so called unskilled trade and I would maintain that experience and it's application to your job should be rewarded. I think you will find that we have long periods of work but NO periods of zilch which makes us a better candidate for financial reward.

The experienced worker is obviously more employable if he's going for the same line of work, but has sod-all to do with qualifications.
That's why people take qualifications; to make themselves more employable, to mark themselves out from the rest of the uneducated peasants, and to prove they have reached a set level of intelligence.

and I would maintain that experience and it's application to your job should be rewarded.

A nice idea widely used in the "real world", but then why should some 18-year-old newie get less for doing the same job as some lifer?

BTW "unskilled trade" is an oxy-moron.
