ffs, I'm so depressed about being unemployed. It's nearly 10 months now.

Has anyone else spent this long unemployed? I'm sending off so many application forms.

Feck!

Well I did once spend 17 years unemployed <whistle>.

In all seriousness though, just keep trying and something will come up. At least you are making the effort to get a job unlike some lazy bastards on the dole <ok>.

Have you thought about maybe getting a degree, Tash?

Nah mate. Because I didn't really do well in my AS Levels. I hated sixth form, my heart wasn't in it and I just lost interest altogether a few months before my exams because my heart was set on my apprenticeship with the NHS.

So I couldn't really qualify for a degree. And also I'm not paying this crappy government 8 grand a year for a degree that isn't guaranteed to get me a job.

Having seen the post that Tash has put up I'd say he has his head screwed on as far as that is concerned. Though if you did go and you got a part time job it does make a difference, I couldn't because the situation with my disability living allowance. Though somewhere between 7 and 9k a year is a lot of money and would put a lot of people off now.
 
All the experience you've had should make you a good teacher for anybody starting out on the job seeking market.

Could be a lot of money in it. I'll be your financial adviser.
