Why do Brits have this arrogance that certain jobs are beneath them?

Just out of interest, say you lost your job and there was absolutely nothing in your field available you just would not get a job?

Like I said, fine, turn the job down. Every one has that right. But then why have the cheek to complain that the "immigrants" are taking the jobs. When is the last time you saw a polish person working as a manager in M&S?

Again, fair enough. But then why complain when immigrants from say Eastern Europe take those jobs? As it's in the case in that video. The employers have to employ people to do the jobs or they'll be out of business.

If you watched that video, those idiots were turning down jobs that were well above the national rate. They said they were desperate, but not desperate enough it seems.

Jobs aren't there to stimulate your pseudo-intellect, they are there to stimulate the economy and do things useful to society.

If no one needs IT specialists, but they do need fruit pickers and you refuse to do it, you are official worthless and your intellect means nothing to everyone else.

I'd do whatever. I've done all sorts of supposedly "crap" jobs in the past. Data entry, shelf stacker, farmhand, construction: you name it, I've done it.

because ANY job is better than sitting at home like a ****ing loser.

How is a construction job a dead-end job? You get payed £8 plus an hour on some of these construction jobs. Sure, shelf-stacking is crap but I know at Asda near me one of the stackers get £6 an hour. Doesn't seem like much of a dead-end to me.

You get that all the time, people who don't have jobs don't want to jobs that are "beneath" them and which they don't consider worthy. Yet when an immigrant takes it, it's all "TEY TURKING ER JURBS"

A classic example is the video I will show you. It was showin on the BBC a few years ago. You can watch the whole video, but I will only post part 6 of 7. In this part, brits are offered jobs, look at their reaction......



Now me personally, I'd have taken that job as part time while at Uni. £7 an hour? I'll bite your hands for that.

Furthermore Evan Davis made a documentary about a scenario if the "immigrants" left. It's called the Day the Immigrants left". You can youtube that and watch it there. It's pretty interesting. One thing I remember was that 4 of them were offered jobs in an indian restaurant and only 1 turned up, the others made excuses of being ill

However the point I'm trying to make is, why do people refuse to take jobs? If you refuse to take a job, you have no right to complain. As the saying goes, beggers can't be choosers, and rightly so.

Jobs aren't there to stimulate your pseudo-intellect, they are there to stimulate the economy and do things useful to society.

If no one needs IT specialists, but they do need fruit pickers and you refuse to do it, you are official worthless and your intellect means nothing to everyone else.

Benefits in this country are far too high and a disincentive to work.

There are some cases where it makes sense to complain, lots of immigrants will work under minimum wage so are effectively making it impossible for a british person to get the job.

And, if there are an unlimited supply of workers for employers to pick from, it means that the workers cannot stand up to the companies. If foreigners didnt come here are take the low skilled jobs, the employers offering them would be forced to improve conditions so that the staff would come. The unlimited supply of staff means that conditions never improve.
