AUDIO text>Finding work

My friend's younger brother, I knew that family very closely, he was very open, he said "Don't wait for any posh jobs. All Indians and Pakistanis, they work in factories here, so you've got to work in a factory. You've got to accept this fact, don't, you know, wait for any special jobs. If somebody's telling you that because you were a solicitor and you had degrees and all that, and you will get any special job, then forget about it." So after two days he told me that this is the rule, this is the rule. Just keep on working, the factories and factories and factories.
