But I absolutely agree with you. There should be a limited time that hard working people pay for the schooling of others or for dole bludgers. For example, give the dole bludgers 3 months to find a job if they don't then bad luck they get $0...
So in your oppinion its alright for Trained and Qualified person just to be kept unemployed.
I am being told too just take a Disability support pension now. why should I have to do that.
There are JOBS out There, there are Employers screaming for workers. why then is it so hard to put people into Jobs /Employment.
Matty is currently studying a degree in medical sciences: 3 years.
He then wants to study medicine: 6 years.
After that, he wants to study to become a specialist: at least 2 more years, depending. Most are longer.
11 years of full-time study (not including on-the-job training in multi-million dollar university hospitals if he passes his exams).
Matty is becoming a specialist to earn $180,000 per annum.
But what happens if Matty doesn't like being a specialist? What happens if he faints at the sight of blood?
Medical training doesn't come cheap. Matty's entire specialist training would cost more than one person being on Newstart for their entire life.
Still, Matty isn't doing it for the prestige, he's in it for the money. Hopefully he'll earn the big bucks and pay it off in HECS.
If he has a nervous breakdown, he won't be paying anything off. We'll be paying him.
I.e, people working in bum jobs for chump change are paying their taxes so that Matty can earn the big bucks - IF he passes his exams and doesn't faint when he sees his first cadaver.
Still, we need specialists.
Let's all hope that in ten year's time we'll be celebrating Matty's graduation.
