Through Keep Climbing we encourage youth to find government positions. These jobs are safe as they are difficult to lose and you are most likely to be paid fairly. Private companies want to pay you as little as possible so that they can profit more.
Shareholder happiness is all that counts in the private sector. The fewer rights labour has, the more profits companies can make. If you’re young and don’t believe this, your first few job interviews will soon wake you up! If employers ask you how much you expect to earn without letting you know how much they are willing to pay, you’re in deep water.
