Main Reason for making this topic, is due to the fact I am having a very bad time at work relating to a number of factors.
But one thing I would like to know is -
Could someone please tell me this are you entitled to a higher hourly rate of pay if you’re a qualified member of staff? I was told today that I am only entitled to national minimum wage £5.80 an hour... thus meaning a non qualified member of staff gets the same wage as me . What the F**K was the point in me training for 3 years at collage?
This is just one of my concerns... I don’t want to over load page 1 with a s**t load of my work related issues

Let it all out....
That's ridiculous that some fucking high school drop-out can get paid for flipping burgers, or pumping gas. the same rate you spent three years in collage for...
That's fucked up....

^ Well I was just gonna say what Midyin said really...
Apart from that, the only point I can see in a qualification in the circumstances would be to make yourself more desirable to an employer...
Sucks though that a qualified person has to get minimum wage, it's not exactly an incentive to drag your arse to college every day for 3 years is it?

[color=#FF0080] I know! I am starting to think I'm best being a cleaner (they can get over £7 an hour if not more in some places) I could write a book on the crap I have put up with at work. This is only a small issue I wanted to clear up in my head.
Todays conversation with the manager about a few things (this being one of the issues raised) It was the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak. Money is tight for me and my little family but I'm starting to feel is work worth this to keep us going?
At the moment I don't make enough money to get by, I feel like braking down when I think about it :cry:
It makes me sick seeing how the government reward people who have not got any attention of working a day in their life, or kid who gets knocked at 16 (or Younger) gets everything handed to them on a plate , while me and my fiancée who are trying to make ends meet suffer.

Sadly it the way of the world. I see tons of people every day that don't want to work or try at anything, and the Gov just hands them shit. The Gov rewards them for getting pregnant at 15, or being an incompetent screw up..
Mean while Hard-working, honest People. Get shit on...

I don't see why they wouldn't pay you more. It makes absolutely no sense that they wouldn't. It seems almost pointless to go to spend that money to study for 3 extra years in a certain field just to be paid the same as someone who is wasting their life as a drop-out.

I have a similar problem, but I'm the high school drop-out but. I work just as hard or maybe even harder than the big fancy Uni educated office workers or the smart arses that finished high school (No offence) But I get $10 bucks an hour to drive wheel loaders and work other machinery. But someone who done two extra years of high school gets paid $15 an hour to stand around and look busy or sit in an air conditioned office and answere phones all day. :evil:
But your situation is pretty crap, I mean your obviously smarter than them and probley work harder and they get the same wage is unfair. Can I ask what your occupation is though.

Get your GED if you want that extra 5$ an hour then..
I get paid 15$ an hour. What pisses me off is I finished highschool, and I don't have the luxury of setting in a loader all day....
I'm usually Ditch-bitch(pipe layer), Top-Man(handing pipe down to the Ditch-Bitch, and taking care of all the little odds and ends that The operators are to busy digging to do), or Flag-man(Standing all day holding the stop/go paddle)...
Personally I like being Top-Man the best cause it keeps me running, and makes the day go faster, But I would gladly take a pay cut To set in a machion all day..
Though I recently been considering going back to school and becoming a PennDot White-hat(not hacker)...
