UK, Ireland /
Documentary on foreign and local workers in a town in England. [66]
ofcourse I should also do some research for myself,
I worked in The Netherlands also and I would be really shocked if your country did not have grants and educational programs for people exactly like you.
Many of my friends have been laid off in ireland now and many of them are seeking further qualifications, it is a great option, I really hope you do the research, that is a job in itself.
videos like these are meant to portray unskilled people as worthless.
if there is one thing I know from my experinces of working in factories and many many other jobs, is that without factory workers society as we know it would fall apart.
I don't want to sound like a commie but factory workers are the backbone of any country.
I'm supposed to pay for my own education in Holland,
Really? All forms of just universities?
I know your country is what I would call very civilised and I am surprised that they do not offer anything of the sort.
So maybe I'll have to look elsewhere? I refuse to sit here any longer, I refuse to waste away like this, and I refuse to watch all kinds of people in Europe who simply decide about my fate for me.
Yes, before any decision can be made the options have to known.
For what it's worth, you have my thanks, because it seems that too many people don't care anymore.
You're are a good guy, you certainly have the ability to do whatever you want but I understand the means are not always available.
I have been lucky, especially in the last three years when i moved back to Poland and things were not so effected here as they were everywhere else. Nothing to do with hard work or education, sometimes it is just a matter of luck. And I have been unemployed before, endlessly looking for work and trying to educate mayself was a struggle.
I know this documentary can be seen as Anti-locals but I really think we should rise above such silly thinking.
In the whole former Eastern-Block there are a lot of peoples who did spent considerable amount of years learning, who are not considered as "graduates" simply because their schools names were too exotic for the western likes. :)
Ah, I see what you mean now but I still think any education is the way forward.
We have student loans in Holland aswell, but the tricky part is that you won't get a student loan if you're unqualified.
In Ireland this changes when you are 24 and is made a lot easier if you have been on the dole for a long time. you should check out the details in Holland as I think they would be more helpful, they change depending on circumstances.
