Public or Private?

Not football related but what do you think a career is best for the next 10 years?

 

probably private with the current government. Looking for a new job?

 

Hmmm, by private do you mean you're only company? Self employed?
I don't think there's pension in private mate.

Ah Deynah.

 

Depends on the type of work I guess. In my field, i'd stay private all the way, more money and opportunities. In general I'd have to reckon private as well if the people in charge keep on freezing salaries and deferring pay reviews to cover losses elsewhere.

 

Even with the proposed cut backs I reckon if your at a good level in the public sector you'll still be better off, I manage hotels and rarely work less than 6 days and 60/70 hours per week with no extra money, no pensions, health care or any other benefit, I earn less than a newly qualified nurse/teacher/policeman/fireman and am 49 with a university education, my pension that I had been paying into since I was 21 was buggered by Gordon Brown so I will not even be able to retire as I can't afford the sort of money needed every month to make up for the loss caused by his tax grab when Labour came into power.

 

I think that while you still have your youthful good looks, you should get yourself sorted out with a tidy little rented room somewhere and become a rent-boy!

Don't sit on your arse, sell it!

Footballers get paid a canny bit

 

Tash, there are pensions in private companies... private doesnt mean self employed.

Government keeps pushing retirement age up, so chances are you'll be working till you're 75 by the time your due in public!

At the minute some public workers are experiencing salary freezes and for the next coupe of years.

If you do have a choice, it would be a bad decision to choose public for the long term.

 

Work in the private sector, government cuts at the moment unless you're ready to retire you'll be doomed.

 

Unfortunately Blacker than Knight the industry you're in is notoriously hard. Long days, hard graft, too many hours, and anyone working with the public deserves a medal.

 

My first 'proper' job was working a JobCentre, front line dealing face to face with all the bru merchants. I'm pretty good with people usually but it wasn't worth the money or the hassle for all the grief you get and the idiots you have to deal with.

Sales exec. now @ large foodservice company and much happier

 

One of the main aims of the Conservative government is to reduce the UK populations reliance on the public sector. This means that they will shrink down public sector employment, and attempt to encourage businesses to employ - thus raising private sector employment.

It's the only real way to grow the economy, as people in the public sector are just pumping their money around the system in a circle, and it isn't creating any form of growth as a whole.

So yes, over the long-term, if their plans go as they expect, it should become more difficult to secure a public sector job, and easier to secure one in the private sector.

 

I don't see how the government will be able to maintain the cuts in the public sector. At the end of the day, these jobs, as pointless as many of them seemed to be, were created in reaction to the privatisation and overseas migration of so many industries leaving so many out of work.

 

If i'm short of money I simply rob a bank...
