Struggling because every 16-20 year old gets spoken to like shit on a building site rather than making them understand what the job actually is
Flump No truer words spoken!👌🏻
@JCBAirmaster73 Maybe you're working in a shit hole of an area? No offence to you or anyone who works in the trades because there's some nice guys, however I feel trades like brickies, plasterers and the sort are some what for thick cunts, they never use to be. Because of this more teens are leaning towards trades that pay better, better environments & not quite as labour intensive. From watching other people get trades people in I constantly see them do bodge jobs and finding an honest hard working trades person is diamonds in the rough. A family member alone has had five different professions come in and do absolute shit jobs and expected pay. I mean how do you judge someone before they've done the job, it's simply impossible aside from past reviewers. Tradies are like dice, you throw them and you might get lucky.
@JCBAirmaster73 In the army they have to be stern because if you can't follow orders you'll die... Even then respect is shown when it's deserved, an officer isn't going to demean you for do a good job of anything
FIFAGUY, it's always been that way. It's a right of passage. The youngsters have always been given the crap jobs, that's just the way it is. The ones that persevere will be better for it. Eventually when they are skilled they will have a youngster to give the crap jobs to. The way I see it the youngsters nowadays are too precious to take it. They want everything now and seem to think the World owes them a favour.
MїĈhÃЭĹ ĴoЯđÃй what would you say the trades are that aren’t full of “thick c*nts”? Carpentry maybe?
How can you get into a trade when they all expect you to have 20+ years experience... Once you've completed an apprenticeship around half of these companies prefer to move the young people on as they're no longer cheap labour anymore.
Yeah we keep hearing about this big old shortage of tradesmen... But I can't get consistent work as a painter decorator, and I'm not the only young person feeling that. I'm sick of hearing it.
clive ramsbotty its the same in ireland. Ive a small bit of expierience (the only bit i could get) have all my tickets and manual handling. Went back to factory work and now im in a medical device factory. Only 19 years of age
@@keltonoc Yeah I hear what you're saying mate... But you've done well to get your tickets by the age of 19 - you're young as fuck pal you've got bags of time to do whatever you like. Don't stay too long in that factory will you, save some cash and go travel. You'll find plenty of work on the way.
Kelton O'Connor my family are from donegal and the things thats stopping me from moving from glasgow to Ireland is for the same reasons i don't want too go into that type of work here
erm...im a fully qualified joiner who cant get a job Because no one will give me a chance when i have no experience...no wonder people don't want to get into the trade
Because you're qualified on paper..
Apparently a slice of a cut down tree has more power than skills these days. I don't have my english GCSE but I can speak and write in english better than most that have the GCSE where I live, yet I can't have a quality job or apprenticeship because I don't have a piece of paper that says I can.
Lie
you are all proving my point. how can i prove myself if no one will give me a chance to prove myself...ive asked loads of employers or self employed joiners if i could work for free so i can prove myself and every single 1 as said no
If the only experience you’ve had is classroom based it’s completely different to doing any kind of work away from that. It might say your qualified on paper but getting a job with no experience is like starting with a day one apprentice
Don't blame the young ones for not wanting it 30 years in the building trade body's nacked pockets empty wouldn't wish it on eneny one run as fast as you can
Yeh if ur an agency labourer. Some sparks, plumbers & heating engineers in the company I work for are making 50k+
@@truefalse207 Some being the word. Nine times out of ten employers will pay shit, most people can't do hard labour for decade after decade, your body is going to give out at some point
I loved being in the building trade! I would still be doing it if it weren't for the clowns they allow to drive machinery these days! Moral of the story, just because someone has a ticket allowing them to drive things doesn't mean they will be safe doing it!!!!!
lost in wales- u hit nail on the head there mate 👍 I’m machine driver for 10 years plus full time 6 days a week on a lot of different types of plant too.. I no exactly what your saying there.. but the only way to get experience on em is to get the ticket first then operate/drive em wen they got no experience.. but they carnt get experience on site with out the ticket first it’s catch 22... the systems just a money con really & these Mickey Mouse npors/plant master tickets are a joke...
The more I watch this show the more I can relate here in the U.S. they also push a shortage over here too and the kids aren’t going for it. They know it’s a shitty life because they’ve seen their dad or grandpa wear their body out doing it, and it’s unstable for family life. Jobs come and go, sometimes you have to travel quite a distance from your home base to work them. My kids won’t even think about it because they’ve seen the damage it’s done to my body and I’m only 40 years old.
JCBAirmaster73 totally right my uncle and his father and brothers were all steel fixers by trade but dabbled in other things but most of what they did were to do with the boom in the use for high rise, the first job the old man done was to do with the main frame and shafts in the first high rise built called Mossheights in glasgow but they were up and down the UK like Yoyo's even helped build canary wharf, his dad suffers with the body smoked rollys all day and eventually had cancer in the lungs and throat due too Absbestos , my uncle worked up literally until a month before he sadly past away due too a stroke, but the last things he worked on was the new museum of transport eXcape and BBC Scotland studios
I took a trade here in ireland.. after a 4 year apprenticeship im earning about 70k euro, which is more than my brother and sister who both did 4 year university courses..
Yeah but your selling heroin on the side
im 16 and i would love if i got the chance to spend a day on site learning them skills
At last a video longer than 2 minutes 👏🏼👏🏼
Graham construction is building a decent sized construction college in glasgow good inactive for people interested
If you want to know the truth why construction has a skills shortage. Go ask the kids who worked for people on site, who are horrible people.... The verbal abuse... Physical abuse... People messing around with wages on a Friday... Short changing kids on their wages... The construction industry here sucks!... The UK as a whole sucks... Hence why its in the state it is.
yup, those apprentices don't know how to do the work. They cant be on the site! they cant learn whilst building a building! it will be demolished in a few years because such people build houses lol :D
A lot of whinging going on in the comments below . If your good enough after your apprenticeship you will be kept on or at least have the contacts to find plenty more work .the money’s good but you have to work for it .stop fucking moaning listen to what your being taught and you’ll be fine .suck up the few months of sweeping the floor cause until you can do that am not wasting my time teaching you shit. If your getting a hard time an being teased or what you think is bullying toughen up and have a go back .and for fuck sake stay of your bloody phone .the trades are a fucking ace laugh . Joiner since 92 .
I wish this was a problem with usa we have way to many trades man times guys flooring whatever you can think of but not enough work sometimes
'Building OVER Britain' more like
Just shit work isn't it, fuck all pay for hard work
Tony Blair deliberately destroyed the trades.
Struggling to get people into the trade and that girl wants to be a teacher 😂😂 and the country's struggling for people with a trade, yet company's do want to give kids the chance and kids dont care.
I could listen to guy Martin all day
Great stuff, i do a few how to vids if anyone wants some tips
And agin great video
I love seeing any video with Guy Martin in, wicked stuff. With all this in the video about young people not wanting to go into construction, I'm quite young and I wouldn't want to go into any construction trade even though I have an interest in wood work, plumbing and brick work, it's just interesting and I wouldn't mind doing it at all but those jobs are gonna go to bloody robots very soon. And how things are being done right now is just retarded. Population's sky rocketing and the space to build new houses is going down, unless you cut down beautiful forestry for them. And then when they do that, they build detached houses on it which does not utilise the space efficiently at all. If they've got the room to build new houses, they should be building terraced or building up. Makes no sense at all.
Then there's the speed that these houses go up, they're built so fast and it makes me doubt the quality of them a lot despite how nice they look, like they won't last at all.
Greedy execs awarding themselces £79 million annual bonuses and paying bugger all on the front line. No thanks.
Even if you joined the army you would keep brick laying voluntary...trust me mate you wouldn't the army take everything from you! You would sack it before 12 weeks or sack it after 3 years and sign off
Not to mention how expensive getting into certain trades can end up being, getting all of the kit isn't exactly cheap.
Young workers get over worked and under paid . I dont think its because people dont want get there hands dirty .
Volunteer bricklayers aka exploited labour
Guy is skilled and knows engineering he will always have a job
Dont forget a lot of of companies dont want to pay experienced tradesmen higher wages and so set on younger less experienced workers/ and or college leavers as they know they don't have to pay them as much.
WHY DONT YOU ASK THE GOVERNMENT ARNT THEY THE ONES WHO RUN 🏃♀️ THE SHOW DONT THEY 🤔
lol in Australia we're I live all my mates are gonna be tradies
Brilliant idea!!! Well done Guy ..,,,
Guy is a lovable character
im a sparky and was also went through my fair share of apprentice shit but me and the mrs moved to australia for better opportunities and lifestyle. forget uni and heaps of debt
Australia is alot more expensive to live in though
@@TheFreshSpam but its all relative to what you earn. you cant compare it to coming here on holiday when your spending your british pounds
That's because they all to worried about how they look .all thinking they should be on the likes of jordey shore . Or they want to be pro gamers.we went through 15 young lads on our site.complete wasters thought they were too good to be there.on the phones most the day.
Nasty business. Im only 19 myself, ive worked in factories since ive left school. Most people my age who walk into the places ive worked are absolute clowns, thinking theyre gods gift to earth and they should be special and shouldent work. Most of them are sitting at home now getting cups of tea handed to them by mummy snd daddy and havent lifted a finger. In 2 years ive worked my way up from a bakery to a medical device manufacturing company. Jokes on them now
@@keltonoc good on you mate, im in trades now currently in the mix of plumbing and joining and all other bits associated. im a good painter just dont have any qualifications so hard to get work, its hard to explain to people its not about the qualification. im only 22 but feel like ive stepped down the wrong path. everyone is broken financially and even more physically in this work. dont want to follow but where do you jump out is what i ask myself.
Too many people want something for nothing, even though I'm just 16 I don't give a shit how I look at work and just work hard until I go home
