It remembers me comics books from Enrico Bertolino like Come rimanere stagista a vita (I don't know if it was sold in Netherlands too: the title should be more or less How to stay stuck as a trainee all your life long😁 and it means how to avoid whatever career improving😁😁😁😁). Well, in a country like Italy or Spain, being serious, to stay stuck as a trainee all your life long is very easy if you don't have influential relatives, friends or at least acquaintances. You don't need to sabotate yourself at all...
It doesn't ring a bell, but...being a student forever was the trick for decennial and next employers asked for trainees, young, skilled...
Some does it make feel good to never work. Over 35% of the younger ones never worked and many foreigners of the last years seem to be allergic to the word 'work' and become ill at once.
Dear friend, it was the golden goose for the companies: to have true workers at their disposal without the cost of a true hiring contract, without the cost to pay a true salary and servants to make tons of copies and to bring coffee to the bosses. Students sold to slavery. In the case of a small industry, in any way, I can't blame them: the shameful amount of taxes they must pay in Italy and the shameful bureaucracy hinder them to hire and pay a fair salary without getting broken within a few years (or a few months).
If you ask me that is a world wide problem
Sad reality...
Thank you for appreciating!
