[Travel] Where have our young people gone

[mune ni kamome]

Stayed in a couple of roadside Hotels in Gloucs and Wilts over the last few days. All staff had East European accents. Polite, well presented, efficient, hardworking and seemingly happy within themselves. Where are all the young English people I wonder

Dunno - maybe either at Uni (because EVERYONE should go to Uni now apparently), or failing that hanging around town centres harassing people after spending their jobseekers allowance on booze and drugs ?

Interesting point. Conspiracy theory? Political murder?

They work in new media or as social media experience interns.

That's my observation.

Gap year

doing other jobs?

I stay in quite a few hotels in the UK when travelling for work; it is quite odd when you find one with majority UK staff. I've been (recently) in hotels like that in the south Wales valleys, Edinburgh and outside Milton Keynes. All the rest - quite a few - tended to have entirely or large majority European staff (sourced not just from Eastern Europe, though)

not living in rural Gloucestershire/Wiltshire?

This is closer to the truth IMO. A ton of people I know who went to Uni with me no longer live in the UK.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

the vast majority of people I went to school with now live in London

At uni because they're pressured to.
And they find there's not that many jobs in things that they would actually want to do long term.
If my experience is anything to go by.

Doing jobs that hopefully pay above the minimum wage.

When did you leave University?

Good call,until employers in this country are willing to pay a decent,living wage We cannot blame the younger generation for not wanting to do crap service industry jobs for crap money.
The problem We have as a nation is that We don't make anything anymore,We need more apprenticeships and start building our way to a better future.

Almost everyone I grew up with in England, stayed in England.
One left to work in Gib.
I left for Canada.

There are many young Brits out in the old Commonwealth countries, but only for a year or two.
