Why do you insist on keep showing pointless programes on women and how they should live with men, how dare you show somethink so insulting to men. Women are equal to men but this channel is making out that women should be treated with more respect when they should not be. the programe ''how men should live with women'' you have chosen three abnormally male like women that are not like the population of most women in britain and ireland. this does'nt proove anythink and the women that send their boyfriends and husbands off are clearly idiots themselves as the advert suggests. Stop showing such rubbish and just show interesting and smart or factual or comedy programes such as being human, top gear, coming of age, eastenders, lunch monkeys, how not to live your life and others like that. Not the rubbish about women that is time wasting and agrovating to hard working men.

Working Girls – episode 1


I would love to have a mentor who would give me an opportunity to prove my abilities. It is a pity that these opportunities had been wasted. I wish I had been given that valuable experience of working with a mentor! Sign.........

Wow, Kaycie's attitude towards her two mentors literally left my blood boiling! I cannot believe the cheek of some people. How has Great Britain become a country that pays for such arrogant, ignorant wasters?! To be fair, by the end of the programme I had mellowed a little as she seemed to have had a complete personality change...until the voiceover at the end...ABH...well done love, you've obviously taken the amazing opportunity given to you (more likely your 15 minutes of fame) and learned a lot. Kaycie - you should be ashamed of youself - disgraceful.

Why are these girls doing glamorous jobs??!! These jobs are for the minority. They need to work a 12 hour shift in an NHS ward to appreciate hard work and tax payers. What a depressing image of society. What does the 91Èȱ¬ expect to achieve from showing this programme??!! It just pi**es people off.

I would like to say my daughter is in a small group of young people who wants to do something with her life! however when i was trying to get help for her the government turned their backs on her and she fell through the cracks in the system, she ended up no qualifications, but is interested in fashion as she has talent artistically.

She would die for the chance to work with a designer such as these girls are but not appreciate the chance they are been given.

If someone would give my daughter a chance i think it would do her self esteem a chance and not feel useless because she cant get a job.

It would be great if someone could get intouch.

Thanks.

Young people are unemployed because of the jobs market – not through lack of trying. 90% of applications are ignored, as companies don’t have the resources to process the massive quantities of applicants. One ad, in one local paper, for one low-paid, bottom-rung graduate position resulted in 70 applications. For grad schemed it is more like 200 per place. People with several years experience are being driven back into graduate positions following redundancy, pushing the grads of the employment ladder altogether. Tomorrow there will be fresh grads for those positions, without a year’s worth of unemployment on their CVs. I know this from first hand experience, after leaving an Cambridge university, doing unpaid work experience, and applying for jobs 9-5, I finally got a job 6 months after graduation. Some of my classmates are still looking. But compared to most young people we have had it easy, many employers do not even look at CVs of those people who didn’t attend a top 5 university. This is stupid, and a massive amount of potential is being lost. In the economic situation, employers can’t afford to do it any other way, and many are exploiting graduates to stay afloat – many of my friends are forced to work evenings and weekends to hold on to their positions.
I found this program very interesting, but I found it massively depressing that these girls were given hope and a glimpse of a role they would have enjoyed and been good at, but is completely unobtainable for 99.999% of young people. They were told that all that stood between them and their ambitions was hard work. This is a fairy tale, I have friends who are throwing their all into 12hour days – what are they doing wrong? Are they not trying hard enough?

alexwebleybbc89 - I'm not sure which show you are criticising as this is a comments board for "Working Girls" ... You should also practise spelling as I think you meant "anything" when you typed "anythink, it's "aggravating" and "prove". Perhaps you might have been working a bit too hard to have the time to bother with spelling?

Onto the actual topic ...

The show is hard to watch sometimes. It seems that these girls are quick to say that their mentors are "disrespecting" them when they haven't done anything to earn their mentor's respect. Perhaps this is a symptom to some people feeling that they're ENTITLED to some things without having put in any work or stepping up to take responsibility!

I know that these girls are a minority but I think this show should have more deserving people (men and women)!

What makes me most sick about this program is that I am a fashion graduate - I have spent the last three years getting myself into horrific debt and spending endless sleepless nights working towards deadlines whilst completeing multiple unpaid work placements. Now having achieved a 2.1 with some great references, portfolio and experience I still can't get a job. I would KILL to have the chance towork personally with pioneers in the industry like Melissa Odabash and Sandy Vernon and these girls can't even get out of bed?? How is this fair??
Surely the whole point of going to university and working dam hard your whole life is so that you can achieve these sorts os opportunities?? not lie around expecting everything handed to you on a plate!
I think its about time the bbc satrted giving people like me who actual deserve these opportunities, not these low life wasters.
