Regarding my daughter she took an apprenticeship in healthcare, not NHS. This is done purely because she cant go to college 20 miles away and pay over 300 quid for course and 300 quid for travel costs, plus even if she did this she would get no benefits, so working for £2-60 per hour gets her out of bed in a morning, me too as I have to drive her to work then go back home to go back to bed, unless im on early start.

I would rather my daughter get 2 quid an hour and get a NVQ in 12 months which will get her a better job maybe with the NHS or where ever she wants to go. 19 year old females want stimulation or need stimulation and id rather her have work stimulation than the other which leads to further problems and social issues.

Oh - and I would rather my daughter moved to where the college is, rented a cheap room/found a part time job to support herself than boast about her doing a 2.60 per hour job. Sorry.

Oh sorry for the misinformation ive worked for the NHS for 21 years, misses 14. Funny how my daughter followed those tips and was offered work.

Never mind I must be dreaming.

Yes, your daughter followed your steps - fantastic. So in several years SHE will have a daughter/son who is unable to go to college with HIS/HER parents having combined 35 years work in NHS by then and not being able to help out.

Really, really brilliant....

Also, tell me something - with 2 of you working, for so many years, for the same employer .. so little money to take home/play with?

My wife and myself work full time in low paid professional jobs, im work now so shouldnt even be on here. We've struggled for 20 years to keep afloat,

The reason I am asking, despite my only 10 years (or so in NHS) where I started on 20k.. my leaving salary was 43k. I have worked my ... off to work my way up, why didn't you? Paying 200 per month tax you are on what? 20k? After over 20 years with the same employer?

And you have pushed your daughter to be in exactly the same position few years down the line?

So, explain please why do you feel you have the right to get on a high horse with anyone on here?

Preferably before midnight, need my beauty sleep after that LOL

If me earnign peanuts would stop my daughter getting education to improve HER prospects - I would get my skates on and increased hours/found extra work rather then push her in a dead end job with no prospects for better life.

And would definitely not try to "advise" other people about getting jobs... yawn..

(Yes, midnight - dog wants to go out though sigh..... and got 4 cats on the bed, no space for me, got to push them furies off first )

Heres another of one of those controversial threads, I love em because they get you revved up.

Its strange that unemployed people say they dont have money to do this and that. so there is no argument here in this topic. If you cant afford to do anything then you must be sitting at home doing nothing, thats the logic. Other than that you are either watching tv, cleaning the house or out looking for work. You cant be going on holiday or out at the pub, you never see unemployed people in pubs, thats a fact! So really ive covered it I think.

You are either watching tv, looking for work, cleaning up or 'sitting at home doing nothing'

Well I don't sign on, being a temp it's too much bother when you don't know when the phone will ring for work to sign off again. So the government "help" I've received have been rebates of my own tax from whenever I've already worked.

It's strange that people with 9-5 jobs have a Jeremy Kyle obsession or bring up daytime TV in general, have you never heard of a VCR, DVD Recorder or PVR? Anything on before 7pm gets recorded round here, isn't watched before night and if it's from the BBC there's the iPlayer for when they repeat the daytime show at night months later. In fact I'm using the iPlayer right now to stream a programme about unemployment because I didn't have two solid hours last week to listen to it.

I'm just happy the people I know with your attitude, one has his job finishing next week as it was temping at the same place for x months as opposed to my chopping and changing, and the other was also made redundant after nearly 20 uninterrupted years of his career, I'm sad for them that they're going through what I went through but after three years of my studying they finally shut their gobs quick smart about my temping and job search now it's happening to them.

I don't understand people who are only stimulated through work. I need to work for the money but that is all, it's just a daily grind of lack of time and miserable London commuting when working apart from a few jobs I've enjoyed. I only grow/gain new interests and skills/really explore things in life and catch up on all the things I've not had time to, when I am unemployed, I love it, I find loads of things to do with little money, I'd never be bored if I never worked again although obviously some things I want I couldn't have so unfortunately I have to find a job..

My hubby lost his job a few weeks ago,he has always worked full time, so is bored out of his mind!! He's applying for jobs, doing the school run and I have a lovely list of jobs around the house for him, while I'm at work. He can't wait to get back to work !!

He misses the day to day contact with his colleagues and we are seriously worried about money.

Yeah I think thats the worst part the contact with others, well I look after my 1 year old daughter but you can't exactly have an exciting debate with her, my Mrs also leaves me a list of jobs to do, sadly I really have no interest in doing them.

I'm so bored in work! My job isn't working out, and I've tried to fix it, and can't. It's a temporary contract which runs out at the end of September, and I can't wait for it to be over as I'm hating it so much! But, I have savings, so if I'm unemployed for a bit it won't matter. And I'll use the time to do the million things I don't have either the time or the energy to do now.

I work to live, not live to work.

yep unemployment can suck but life isnt a bed of roses necessarily if you are at work. There are usually worries and problems and people dont always get on.
