No I don't think so, but if he is then he has exposed how many snivelling little begrudgers there are out there

Even if he was a troll, then it may help someone else reading to know what they can do regarding college and living with a small amount of money.

Well put again Jowo :money: I wasn't aware that certain courses were classed as full time even tho they are quite low hours. (still that explains how much everything is messed up)

They are considered full time because even though the supervised attendance can be quite low (lectures, seminars, etc), they factor in all the preparation, homework, research on top. I looked at a local college course which is considered full time and the lecturers made it clear that they know most students work at least part time and they wouldn't expect their students to be present more than 3 days a week.

Do you think collages are able to work around my work times or I them ? A few people have just been sacked at work And I Don't feel comfortable asking my boss to move my times around ( He knows what it's like to be where I've been And he had a hard time to move people around work just for me in the first place)

I don't agree but I do think that anyone who encourages a young person of 19 to work fewer hours so that they can claim more benefits is totally irresponsible and amoral.

This OP could well be genuine but that would be all the more reason to give him sensible, mature advice rather than encouraging him to rely on the welfare state at such a young age.

College will be set hours, so yes, you need to work around the college course.
