That is why I left youth work. It could not compete with other opportunities because it involved working evenings and I had a small family. I worked on the school completion programme with the ETB. It is a huge thing but it is very frustrating that 21 years later it is still no better. As has been referenced earlier, youth workers do not like protesting and do not like having to go on strike and things like that. Nor do school secretaries and I am not suggesting they do that now. However, at some stage a button has to be pressed and people have to say, "Enough".
