Sure I get as bitter as hell. Everyone else seems to be able to get onto PhDs and Masters, get good jobs and jobs with big companies, but yet I can not get anything. So I have sure as hell a lot of right to be bitter when I hae battled and tried just as much as anyone else.

Phil. You just have to accept that try as hard as you have done, you just might not be up to it. Not everyone can have a first class honours degree and a PhD, and a high flying job and earn oodles of cash. If they did, who would empty the dustbins, answer the phone in offices, work as nurses, build houses, fly planes, work in shops, work on farms, drive trains and buses... all these VALUABLE jobs - the list is endless. Just because you don't need a degree or a PhD to do a job does not make it worthless, or beneath you, which you seem to imply in all your threads that moan about the tough old life you have.

When you get your results, go down to the job centre (not online, face-to-face) and book an interview with them for some practical advice and help. Scour the newspapers for work, even if it's only temporary work you can get. Be willing to do ANYTHING and don't rule out stuff because you think you're better than it. Lots of people (like me) do jobs that they LIKE, even though they could go and earn more elsewhere. The best paid jobs are not necessarily the *best* jobs.

And !!!!!! stop whining. You're f**king lucky you have a roof over your head that someone else is paying for and you're not out in the real world yet. You'd be eaten alive.

Accept that your niche in life may not be destined to be a senior post earning loadsamoney. Like I said, not everyone can.

So far then we do not have much of a list of the quality a PhD bings to make you a better worker.

Well. I have a job! It regularly gets me over £20 an hour for holiday work, for which I am grarteful, as it allows me to be able to live and save for the following years university fees. Something I couldn't do on a £6ph bar job.
