I think you'll find most countries throughout the world will protect their domestic workforce to the extent of insisting that an employer can only employ a foreign national if no native-born worker can fill the post.
Apart from the UK DM They seem to only want to employ foreigners in their domestic workforce In many of the hotels, Polish, Asian employees etc very seldom do you see anyone else these days! Every motorway services, airport..you name it...yes the UK things are different...unfortunately.
The Asians are mostly Brits,of course, and the Poles might just as well be so long as everyone's in the EU...
Hotels, eh - I wonder how many Brits are queueing up for those jobs?
No, they'll be too busy watching daytime TV on their 42" flatscreen paid for by their dole money, smoking black market fags and yelling at the kids to go out and nick some bread and milk.

Yes, that does apply to some of the Brits, I agree. I have heard though that a lot of young people leaving Uni cannot get jobs, they work filling shelves in Tesco etc...still I am off topic here.
LOL, no no and no. I was just making an observation that is all. I know countries do take certain measures to protect their own people, but Thailand from the countries I have visited or lived in takes it to the most extreme. The UK where I am from is quite the opposite.

You can get a teaching job with no degree or training. Speaking as someone who taught English for 10 years, you don't want to face 30-40 screaming 10-yr old Somchais with no idea of what to do. You will resign by 10am!
No degree, no training, means the "language schools" (aka school business) can offer peanuts wages, no materials, 30 classroom hours a week (you'd be walking dead after a week, trust me), and all for less than 30,000/month.
7-11s are franchises so will tend to employ family members, friends of the family or someone to whom a favour is owed. None pay a wage a falang would consider remotely liveable. Buying such a franchise would be expensive, complex and a never-ending headache IMO.

Black market fags are very difficult to come by these days dm - trust me!
Yes the UK is in a very bad situation right now, but somebody had to step up and start repaying back the countries debt, make cuts etc. It takes balls to do that as a prime minister, but the question is if Cameron is taking cuts in the right places? This is one reason among many why I left the UK when I was 22.
Off topic a bit yes lol. @jonnyk yea my mate had a TEFL but that was about it. No work permit, no work visa and he got several teaching jobs in a school before he went home and left me with his guitar and skateboard. The skateboard I am keeping though :p
