This thread is really starting to grate on me I'm afraid - can we just stop all of the nonsense and get back to the actual topic?
At the end of the day, regardless of the reasons for M&H taking on the apprentice, at least they're offering it - yes the pay is rubbish but it's not designed to be a well paid job - it's to enable someone to learn some valuable skills which they can take into the real world. I've been very lucky personally in being able to go through school/college/uni with ease and landing myself into a good job - for others it isn't this easy and I applaud M&H for at least giving someone a chance. Really wish this forum wasn't so cynical at times.
Yes, it is human nature to be suspicious of things. Especially when something appears to be one thing but can turn out to be something else - I have learnt this from drunken nights out... And have, some of the time, regretted the fact that I did not look at things with rose tinted glasses on.
One mans cynical is another mans careful.
My point in this whole discussion should remain as an analysis point for the person looking for a balanced view - "Yes - on paper this looks like a great opportunity HOWEVER greater clarification needs to be sought over the exact role and wording within the contract".
Many of us know what, what M&H have appeared to be in the past, is not necessarily who they are in the present.
However, who knows what the strategic direction the Business will take - either way, it's always good to be educated on these matters so people can go in with their eyes wide open.
Last thing you want is an 18yo who has spent the last two years learning to make tea, sweep floors and apply stickers with not a lot else.
