No, I was saying that the statement that has been made many times in this thread, that if you don't like working in a pub you can always leave and get another job, does not hold true for many people who do not enjoy the benefit of professional training and prospects.
In the context of the discussion we're having, why on earth would I choose to suddenly state that bar work is for people who do badly at school? It would be entirely off topic as well as untrue.
Actually there are a great many people in a great many jobs who for one reason or another can't simply walk away even if they wanted to. Sometimes this is due to lack of training, sometimes its family circumstances (your current employer might be very accommodating when your personal circumstances change, but just try getting the same consideration from a new one).
There - now I've said in three paragraphs what I thought was clear in one sentence. Do context, and my own posting history, count for nothing?
