So seiously do you think that working at MacD for three months over the summer will get me a job where I want in three months time?

To be honest? No. You also have an attitude problem, amongst others.

But it will get you a site closer to a job you want. You'll gain skills, stop the growing black hole on your CV, have money in your pocket, and have confidence and a good base from which to apply for better jobs.

No, it may take longer than that. But how do you plan on surviving if you dont get a job? Any job at that?

Until my money runs out or until I go mad and end up being sectioned.

Okay, so positively, what are suitable jobs for me?

i know you really don't like taking advice, but was the thread on the employment and jobskeeking board a figment of my imagination?!

stop insulting all the people who take the time to help you - READ their posts and TAKE their advice.

how many times can you ask the same questions (over and over and over and over....?!)

nope, but you'll definately not get a decent job with no work history. But tbh I don't think anything other than family ties or backhanders will get you the job you want...

and why won't you get a job to stop the money running out or go so a Doctor to help prevent you being sectioned. University will also provide counciling services.

I just get so angry with myself for not having a great job and I feel such a failure forr me and my family and such a let down to them. I am sorry that I get so raged up with myself because I am letting every down I drive myself to the edge of madness.

You wont let them down if you get a job. As long as it pays then thats all that matters at the start.

What are your weekly outgoings and how much savings do you have to live off?

Well do something about it - go see the doctor and a counciler and apply for that job at McDonalds. Have some pride and start to make things right.
