... and yet neither counts as a fair day's work for a fair day's pay;
one on either side of the line.

Interesting assumptions, there.

And the young school leaver would be entirely unable to obtain said job,
because he doesn't have the proven industry experience to get it. Nor
would your suggested school leaver be on this list, since they'll likely
not know of it's existence until they've been in the industry for a few
years.

And yet you're hoping us moaning bastards are soft-hearted enough to
donate to your chosen charity. Interesting.


As for my take on it - I'm more than happy for the conversation to
continue. After all, the list has already been filtered, so anyone who
doesn't want to see the responses has an immediate solution to hand;
those who do, however, can discuss the situation like reasonable people.
Or so I would hope.
