No doubt many Businesses would rub their hands with glee if they have people working for nothing.

I am unsure about apprentices. they may work for a small wage because they are actually learning the business which will be a great asset to them later on. Apprentices used to be very common here in the UK, it seems a shame to me that there are not as many as there used to be as they learn very useful skills
Freeter receive a little salary. Many of them can’t get by the money they earn.

I meant that the part “free” in the word “freeter” is from English, but not an English word and that has a different meaning.
That is spelled like English, but it means “having no regular work” here.
I’m sorry. I have made confusions.


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
