    I was in the same boat as you for 5 years. I worked PT throughout my entire college life and it got me by. I needed very little money off my folks. I only copped on to a grant in my final year (didn't think i'd be eligible all along - turns out I was), so that helped too.

    does stuff include a grasp of the English language?...i think not


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 96 ✭✭|MarK|


    no i dont study english so what i missed a few commas maybe if i wasnt so busy with part time work id have more time to relax and get a grasp of the engish language.

    GRAMMAR QUEENS


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Yore Ma is on the dole.
    Which is scabby because she has a job - she's also on the game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,932 ✭✭✭The Saint


    I signed on last Monday. It was a depressing experience.
    About 300 people Queuing, mostly the intellectually challenged and socially inept.
    Was it comforting to be amongst your own.?:P You know what they say, In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. Only messin.

    Anyhoo, not on the dole. Dossing through some college for the year.

    No, I don't study english. So what, I missed a few commas? Maybe, if I wasn't so busy with part-time work, I would have more time to relax and get a grasp of the english language.

    GRAMMAR QUEENS!


    Personally, I didn't learn how to speak english properly working part-time in a garage. I also didn't learn how in my spare time away from the garage.

    Loads of students don't bother learning in college and smoke hash. How are we to know you aren't one of them? You don't even know when to use the words "they're" and "there". Are you high right now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    THE DOLE IS FOR LOSERS!



    I personally decided to choose the "Job seekers allowance" :o

    Who cares :p Let's guess what Mark is studying in college instead. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 170 ✭✭stevelknievel


    Grammer Queens, will you all settle down. He's not trying to get his work published. Anyway, OP I'm drawing, and have been for couple of months. But all that will end on February 2nd. as I have finally got myself a new job. Thankfully.

    The idea is that students have grants to cover college costs. Obviously, that's not how they work out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,259 ✭✭✭Shiny


    Was on it this summer, couldn't find work and went back to college.
    Little did I know the **** was going to hit the fan and it will be ten
    times worse when I finish this time.:mad:

    I went sick from work last year, and then got let go for being sick, ba$tards....... never actually went on the dole cos I figured I'd get a job - hmmm.

    So, applied for a job last week and I'm starting next week - yay for me!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    Then you are wasting your time in college. Seriously, you can't work out how to get a grant?

    You're a sucker for not claiming in between.

    A load of my friends are on the dole. Most of them have degrees as well, they all live with their parents though, and it's pretty cushy if you don't have to pay rent or food bills. One of them is only getting 40 euro a week for some reason, that's become what i like to call his '50 bag seekers allowance.'

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭Plug

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    I signed on last Monday. It was a depressing experience.

    Seeing as a lot of posters are male, would it not be sand in your jap eye?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Xiney


    I get to line up and sign on every month, but all I get to show for it are the stamps.

    I don't have enough of them to get the dole.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid

    .

    It must have taken ages for you to conduct a vox pop for 300 people? Did you get to sign on in the end?

    No saying "in their vagina" is more of an insult moaning like a girl and all that, sand in the jap is just painful
