someone on tv says

"There is no reason for anyone to be unemployed because there are alway Care jobs".

This isn't a job that 'just anyone' can do, it is totally unfair to the person being cared for if you have no aptitude or love or anything other than just being told that 'anyone can do this'. People have ruined their own health as carers, I know this, from lifting and the stress, but it's been done out of love. How much 'love' does £6.30 an hour buy if you have no wish to do that job and are just pushed into it?

Sorry for the rant, just watching 'Nick and Margaret', and I found it wholly inappropriate that this was the attitude when taking theunemployed bloke along to a client.

I have heard the same at the jobcentre. When I was there it was 'oh well anyone can do this job' ..."so the person needing care needs to be hoisted, well sure that can't be difficult can it? you have no training? never mind we'll send you for that job anyway........" :-|
