Am I also being unseasonable to think that one of the most valuable work skills our youth need is how to not get shafted by their employers and get paid what they are worth to the business?

[Heroine]

And that means crappy employers who pay low wages, employers who don't develop their staff, and particularly those employers featured on woman's hour today who think that if you are young you are somehow worse at a job even if you have better performance figures than someone older which then justifies you getting paid £4 an hour less for the same job.

I think refusing to work unless the pay is right is a key skill otherwise people have to borrow to live.. which fucks up the economy.

Why are we teaching the (state school?) young to be grateful for being screwed? Its astonishing to me.
