There are plenty of jobs.
There are plenty of oppertunities at the moment as I see.

You may just have to consider relocating to where the jobs are, but that has been pointed out before hasn't it?

Could you try this?

I even put in a postcode to determine the area.

I also know that the industry relevant website that I have used in the past can determine location.

It seems that you can define by area rather than simply going in and looking at boards of jobs

True. But I was just saying that the market will sort out what happens. If rents are rising I guess you have three choices:

1) Don't rent. If lots of people do this, presumably rents will fall.
2) Rent at a higher cost
3) Cut your cost of renting by renting with someone else.

Can just see it now.

Mummy & daddy with their 2 kids, living with mummy and daddy and their 3 kids, all sharing the 3 bed terrace.

Rock and roll.

So just where is the cash which comes from the property owning grandparents going then when their ZX80 bleeps for the final time ? By any reckoning, there is much more of that than ever before.

The trick is that children are going to have to forgo their inheritance and let the grandchildren have it to get onto the property ladder.

I don't want to work in Aberdeen...

Today, the jobcentre website had 2 jobs on it for my area + 15 miles:

1] Cleaner, 3-10 hours/week.
2] Hotel porter, 12-16 hours/week.

People on MSE often talk of inheritance.... my grandparents are dead (1971 and 1984) and they had a council house. Others died 60 years ago and 45 years ago - lived in rented after they lost everything in the war.

As for my parents - anything that could have come from that direction needs to be split several ways - and I think they're most likely to be in a home, so that'll use it all up.

For people who are living in the same area as family, one option of sharing is to buy a bigger house and live in half each. If you compare the size of a £300k house to a £150k house it's not twice the size, they're more like 3x the size and with big gardens too.

There are, you just need to locate to where they are, if your serious enough about getting a job.

Here's on in Bath

Thing is, you need to do the search and look for something you can adapt to.

Best of luck
