    I spent my days on the dole finishing my dissertation for my masters, then spent two weeks of it in the caribbean on my holidays at the end of september.

    From October till December I spent my days applying for and getting rejected by every job advertisement I could find.

    From january to now I have spent my time sorting out my visa to go back to korea and work away at my old job cos it's too boring and mind numbing to sit on the dole for a long period of time.

    I head away on sunday and as much as I don't really want to go back out there to my same old job and away from my new born nephews etc, I just can't be arsed doing nothing for the next few years.

    When I first went out Ireland was booming and people only went to the U.S and Australia so I decided to go there cos there wasn't as many Irish, now the big cities are full of Irish people trying to avoid the dole.

    Because of this I am heading back to my old school on a little island just off the south east coast, at least I know there are no fake Irish bars and I don't have to put up with people banging on about mayo/kerry/insert county name here __________ when the all ireland comes back around

    I spent from September to December getting rejected by empoyers about every single job i applied for. While here the closest offer i got for a decent job was to work in company for "work experience". This meant i'd go to a place and work 9 - 5 like everyone there, doing similar work only i would still be on the dole. Which meant id still claiming PRSI and working for free. But don't worry, some companies were considering a scheme where they might cover your bus fares.

    I leave ireland next week.
