Hence metaphorically speaking, if one finds one’s feet in, say, a new trade, they have gotten used to the business, gotten familiar with the ins and outs of it and are now comfortable in going about everyday work.
Like it is with children gaining the first foothold, they are now confident in their abilities and are raring to go, ready to take on the whole world.
In other words, they have established themselves. They have come into their own. They are now a force to be reckoned with.
Which is as it should be, of course.
But first, young people should work hard and smart and make some money, rent first and hopefully one day be able to buy a house with money earned by the sweat of their own eyebrows instead of their parents’.
In other words, don’t squander your parents’ lifelong saving in one fell swoop, just like that. Have mercy on your ma and pa.
Well, then again, it’s up to them and their dears. At the end of the day, when all is said and done and in the final analysis, what we’re concerned with is linguistics. And so, putting aside all idle talk, let’s see a few examples of people finding or not finding their feet here and there:
1. Faced with a new crisis, it stretches credibility to imagine Osborne invoking the spirit of Roosevelt’s New Deal, but that’s what’s needed, with a job guarantee for every young person. That investment would be every bit as cashable for the future as roads or railways, since the great social debt now accumulating will be more burdensome for future generations than mere financial debt. No one is counting the social deficit, the costly damage done to this generation of young people, though the evidence shows that a workless youth does life-long harm, some never finding their feet again, becoming the workless parents of the next generation.
