I know people are stuck at this time but some of you would be people looking for work. It's the ones who are happy to sit back and take it and lazily put the blame on there being nothing out there when they have no drive to look

Heck I met a family of dole people on holidays in Spain for a week. And, there is a family nearby with 2 cars, yes 2 cars; what do you need 2 cars for when your on the dole?

Most of them are for highly qualified accountants and/or trainee jobs. Depressing that I may have to go back to education at 24.

A lot of the time they're looking for people with specific degrees and experience to work a full time job for no pay. That kind of carry on makes me close the FAS website and go back to watching Jeremy Kyle. Pure chancers, cashing in on the high level of unemployment. If it becomes standard in this country that you have to work for nothing for a year just to get your foot in the door onto the bottom rung of the ladder, then it's a complete farce. I hope no-one ever takes up these vacancies. I completely agree with the sentiment that you should sit at home all day playing video games rather than taking any job you can. And no, you aren't missing out on life by choosing to not be in a miserable job that pays crap wages if that's your only option. I've done both and have much fonder memories of the unemployed times.

They were quiet but just weird and went off the rails. Drink isn't cheap tho, can't see how you could finance drinking several days a week on the dole unless its all just cheap cider.

Then off to bed and in the morning repeat the same routine again.
