Unemployment Count Thread

This is absolutely true. 95% of people I know are doctors, lawyers, engineers.

So being known by you automatically guarantees a 95% chance of being or becoming a doctor, lawyer or engineer?

Well after someone spends 3-6 years either full time or part time studying and 'toiling' to get not just a degree, but educational and technical prowess in a particular field coupled with psychological and social advancement, then to come and work for a salary that the average person whom may not have any qualifications works for or even lower, is a form of exploitation in my opinion. What is the purpose of educational advancement in the first place? What is the motivation behind it? The belief is that one makes himself better equipped at acquiring high paying jobs and making him/herself more marketable.
An argument can be raised that they have little to no experience. In that case, what about the people that work during the day and go to university part time on evenings?

I can understand why some 'fresh out of university' folks want better.

Two solutions really, go straight for the high paying job, or keep yuh kant quiet and do what is expected of you in the lower paying one that you did manage to land. Keep in mind that these persons less qualified than you academically may have years of experience and can teach you a few things. The sense of entitlement irritates the fack out of people and those snobs quickly realize that their degree don't mean fack all.

EXACTLY !!!! just humble yuhself


I work n go to school( MSC ) I did my deg part time ..part of it was when i wasn't working it was very sad .. then I got a job .. and I proved my worth , I tell my CEO yesterday after he quarrel with me for something that was beyond my control de only reason I ain't leave yuh a$$ and go work for your competition who keep asking me to come work for him is coz I get to go to school .. not money not anything else .... I got a stink eye and was allowed to leave work early ... << thas my story I earned the right to be rude to my boss after he insult the hell outta me and I does still get in trouble with my company for " my tone of voice towards my fellow employees " I dunno na like ppl need to get over themselves .. As mg man does tell me ppl don't have real problems ...

I find some of these kids need to go work in penny wise n pack soap for a couple months or in a grocery and humble they mommy daddy taking care of me forever self ...

US Energy contractor Fluor is also following the latest trend, spoke to a few guys there recently, many have been retrenched in the last few months and more to come , seems after July they would no longer be in Trinidad. With their acquisition of Stork, that will be their only presence here in Trinidad.

[abbow]

accept this happening as the norm for the next couple of years.....

some downstream companies that rely on the oil and gas industry will feel it as well....

[Jade_Inc.]

Look on the bright side, BP is investing billions in its operations here In tt

truth in this...laying off since last year.....had an auction sale last week for office furniture...after next month, das it for them....they would only hire people on a contract basis IF a job at Stork calls for it....

[nervewrecker]

Stork itself iffy. Know a kid that got called out and he back home.
Maybe as he green though.

We know the figures given are inaccurate.

Let's get a better idea of how many people unemployed and on the breadline at this time.

Nothing to be ashamed about. Just to open the eyes of some people living in denial.

I will start.

[screwbash]

digicel sending home 25% of staff

[sMASH]

#1 kstt-unemployed
