First of all during my studies, I was a customer assistant at Tescos. I have worked in weekends in the tills scanning thousands of items per day. It wasn't for gain the ROI, but for earning some pocket money. As a postgraduate in IT, my skillset wasn't even a nearly match to my job at Tesco, though I never wanna insult my x-job. It was just a temporary revenue generator and a cooler way to expose to British culture.jlewisunh wrote:kind of disappointing. mr porter and mr scott said they'd be willing to reduce it to one year. that isnt looking out for international students' rights!!! although they did say the obvious: that one year isn't really sufficient on the grounds that employers wouldn't take the time to train and recruit someone if the position is only for one year.
i dont get it. all the members are concerned that master's and phd students would be working the tills at tesco, as they said. so leave those jobs for the people who do them currently. as i have said before, they could just give psw for two years as it is now to only graduate students. that would work because grad students are NOT going to work at tesco. if they cant find work they'll just go home but they're not going to take on those types of jobs.
another edit: a woman on the panel JUST said exactly what i did. those students will go home if they cant find jobs. they wont work at tesco.
yet another edit: 12:08 is soooooo damaging.
Soon after submitting my dissertation, I got an opportunity to work for a start up software company and become a developer. Then I quite my Tescos job and take my preferred industry and career path. I am hoping to continue working after obtaining my PSW. well, that's my story and I just wanna say to Damien Green or any other person who counts non-EU international graduates as trash, that we are not here for steal your precious jobs, we are here to contribute our knowledge and take some experience.
Lib Dems and Tories are just playing the people and addressing wrong sides of problems. Any person with some average common sense (there are exceptions like Damien Green) know the real immigration issues related students caused by bogus colleges and fake students.
1. Why the government can ban the colleges at first place? If they can rate and give sponsor licenses to them, why can't they disallow. Seriously, I think there should be a untold story.
2. Why are they going to penalise genuine students, the facts are clearly showing the statistics that students who are coming to less reputable colleges making the mess.
These things seems like crystal clear to ordinary people, only Damien Greens are sucked to understand them. bollocks.
