I'm more worried about where all the men in general have gone. Hard to find in banks, hospitals, shops, schools. . . Women are taking over.

Simply not the case. Incredible array of music out there.
The world has changed, in particular for young people. Youth cultures were localised until they exploded through word of mouth mostly.
Now everyone is connected and John in Brighton will think nothing of collaborating on some music with Juan in Mexico. They may never have met.
Doubt we'll ever see youth cultures like those pre 2000 again.

A lot of cheap shots at the young generation in this thread. Personally I think we're doing pretty bloody well considering what the older generation have left behind.
Well at least neither group are being idle then.
Ahh, a millennial speaks pmsl! I live with two of your type, at their age I had a full time job and was father to the oldest one! Both admit that they couldn’t have done the hours I worked (2 jobs) when they were young! I certainly wasn’t blaming the previous generation!

True. Those 10 hours of lectures a week must be really tiring [emoji23][emoji23](and well worth £9,000 a year)
Helped someone move flat last week used a local removal company man and van the man arrived with two chaps one early twenties the other late teens man and van stood by while two chaps moved everything, the two chaps were on zero hours contracts and had work only if and when needed by man with van £50 each for the day with no promise of work the next day or another day, it was hard work up and down stairs and both looked shattered, as the man with van took the payment left me thinking what chances in life do our young have

Surprisingly Eastern Europeans are happy because they are earning four times more money a week than they would in their native country.
See less and less in the building trade now, they had value when they were half price now most are going back to British workers

Many employers want just eastern European workers ,I live in an area in the country where there are a lot of huge farms and have mainly this culture .
The companies hide behind the guise of "oh the British people don't want the work and they cant handle it " but don't mention the fact that they never advertise in the local papers or jobcentres
and openly recruit from jobcentres in Poland etc .I know of friends who`s kids have rang and asked about jobs to be told there are none only to be confronted with vans of eastern Europeans being bused in a few weeks later.
We had a local meeting with said companies and they were asked these questions and the silence in the room was deafening .
To be able to work you have to be given the opportunity .

It's the same here!
When we used to come to Malta on holiday, the waiters were usually Maltese and often doing a second job in the evenings and weekends.
Now, nearly all hotel and restaurant staff are from Italy, the Balkans or Eastern Europe. (Very good at their jobs too)
There are now more Italians in Malta than Brits.

Close for me - I do work in Marketing now, having previously worked in Social Media... however I am simply one of many.

There was a newsnight documentary about this. They gave the local people the jobs, and they were crap at it. Its difficult to resolve.
People just are not going to give up their benefits, and an easy life for picking crops.
You shouldn't tar a generation with the same brush just because you failed to raise productive members of society

Ok, thanks for replying, for some reason, which I can't explain, I really thought you were quite a lot older than you obviously are. cheers
Haha fair enough. I'll take it as a compliment that my thoughts are coming across so aged and wise
