(06 Jul 2022, 6:38 pm)Driver9*** wrote I've recently left bus driving after 22 years of it and believe you me it would take a lot more than £750 to tempt me back. Over the years the gap between the minimum wage and new starter rates for drivers has come down to the point where only the desperate would consider it as a viable career.This is the problem with the minimum wage rising... a Costa coffee barista job is advertised at 10.50 per horse and a band 5 staff nurse starts at about 13 quid an hour.... which job would u go for?
How many jobs do you know of other than bus driving whereby you can make an honest mistake and end up going to prison for it, whilst offering a starting rate of pay of £10 an hour?
