It is nice to see you are constructive when people's lives and happiness hang in the balance.:rolleyes:

Don't be so melodramatic.

You have pages and pages of the same junk on thread after thread, until Management lock them.

Get out there and do some job-hunting instead of being here 24/7 with the same nonsense over and over again. Then you might get somewhere.

It is important. It is either poverty or a life , success or failure, happiness or social exclusion.

If I knew what my degree trained me to be then I would be able to find what jobs I should be applying for, but as I am seem unqualified for nothing I just have to hope for the best.

I give up, I am not posting here any more.

I think that you only post for sympathy.

You are certainly not in genuine need of any help at all. You have already been given years' worth of help and guidance from folks a lot older and wiser than you but you don't want to listen to advice, you just want to moan.

Moan away, I am not interested any longer.

I am not after sympathy,

I just want to be useful to the world.

Just like everyone else really.

I am listening and I am trying my best to find a job.

So dramatic! You have a roof over your head and although you say your parents need you to work, they are not going to throw you out are they! All you have to do is try and get a job. You have already said that you are only going to try for a job you will be happy in -you won't try for any old job but then you are saying that ou really need a job .... it is either poverty or a life!

It doesn't matter what degree you have phil - I know many people with degrees that are in jobs (good jobs) that has no bearing on the subject they were studying.

Thanks, i know generally what sort of job I want if not the exact title of it.

I can not move for at least the first year of working as need to save my income to give it to my parents.

Then after that I might be able to move away, but if I am going to go down this university career route then I am going to have to save up about 6k for a Masters.

Seriously, what do you want a masters for?? Get some work experience!

Vocational qualifications whilst in work are much better in most cases.

I do need some money to live on of course but I do want a job that makes me happy.

Part of the selfish reason why I need a good job is to keep up with my mates, they are all top business and IT trained and I do not want to be left in poverty and then having high flying careers.

A philosophy degree is seen as worthless by many businesses and most of them do not even have the first clue what it is.

Considering everyone above me in these uni jobs have masters or PhDs I am going to need a Masters to get any promotions.

He won't listen David, he says he really wants a job but will only try for a job he will be happy in and then he says he will do any job. In the middle of all this he says he is going to do a masters. He doesn't take advice, he contradicts himself, he has no idea of the real world.

People here have given him good advice in ALL his threads which are all about the same thing but he rants on and just does not take a blind bit of notice - he is living in cuckoo land!

He has not got his degree yet and he is talking about a masters - if he is not careful he won't get his degree because he should be focusing on studying for his finals!

All this degree subject does not matter only applies if you are going for top grad jobs, but in the normal job market it does matter.
