Lack of Job Opportunities

Oct 05, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to bring to your attention the lack of job opportunities for our youths. Many young individuals are being denied of a job even though they are qualified, with excuses such as being underage.
But may I point out that children are being supported by their fathers up to age 16. What then are children living with their mothers who don’t have the money to further their education and can’t get a job, going to do?
Are they supposed to make babies for that two years until they reach 18? Or are they to go and get married? It’s as though they got the grades in vein. It’s hard on single mothers, especially when there is no support from the fathers or vice versa.
When an individual finishes Secondary school at age 16 plus, they should be able to find a job, especially when they have their subjects.
Everyone is looking for a start in which they can build a future for themselves; so why then are they being denied because of their age?
Then the Government should let them finish school at age 18, which I would not recommend because that’s a practice to make the minds of these young individuals lazy.
Every individual building a career has to start at some point, so why then are many organizations demanding experience person? What exactly are they doing to the future of this country?
I would like to get some answers to my questions. I’m wrote CSEC this year and I got ten subjects; ones and twos and I’m still unable to secure a job.
