Why haven’t I had reply to my letters?

SIR - With the Government intending to raise the school leaving age, and the increased responsibility on young people to get qualficiations, it seems to me that there should be some pressure put on employers to take on qualified people, and not young people who have no qualifications who they can pay a pittance to.

I left school and went on to college where I gained my degree in hairdressing.

That was two years ago. I have sent out hundreds of CVs in this time to all the salons in Droitwich and Worcester. With the exception of perhaps three, not one of these employers has ever taken the time to reply. This has left me absolutely devastated, not only because I think I have wasted two years of my life, but because now I also realise that this country is full of selfish, rude, thoughtless people who dont give a damn about anyone but themselves.

BEN STACEY, Droitwich.
