    Leaving aside the rights and wrongs or moral issues you need to get a job, any job, and pay as much as you can off the loan. You're only 20yrs old and decent paying jobs are thin on the ground at the moment so you are going to be very lucky if you manage to get something that pays £15-20k. The fact that you've been unemployed for 8-10 months proves this. Even if you end up serving burgers, cleaning floors or stacking shelves you'll be earning and also get an evening job in a pub or something.

    Swallow your pride and take anything, you could wait forever for a job you want and pride doesn't pay your bills or debt or count for much if you're in prison or have a criminal record. The sooner you're earning the sooner you can get yourself out of this mess.

    You are so cynical...maybe the OP was a child genius who did A levels at 12 and a degree by 14, masters by 15 and a Phd by 16. Why assume they left school at 16 with (possibly) some GCSE's? ;):rotfl::rotfl:
