Why have money saving expert banned my IP address. I have to use my phone now. How is this fair. All I am asking for is advice. I just want to be happy, be at uni now, have a job now, drive now, have a girlfriend and be getting married now and to be on holiday now

None of those things will happen today. So just stop it.


You want those things, go work for them, stop acting like a child. You're 27, and you haven't ever worked. Your situation remains stagnant.


Get help from the NHS and the careers service. Get qualifications and training

I am getting counselling which doesn't help really. And what do you mean NHS carears. I'm starting uni in September so will be qualifications with that

I told you previously, Uni isn't going to help.


It's not a magic fix, you will end up in the same boat, with more mental health issues and £40k in debt.


Get proper help now.


If counselling isn't working, say so and try something else.

The best lesson in life anyone can learn is that nobody is owed anything regardless of how !!!!!! they've had it.


my son flunked university (looking back the best advice I could have given him was don't even go) got a job that a 16 yr old could have done.


He then decided what he wanted to do, paid for exams so that he could apply, only to get rejected, decided to volunteer to get experience in his chosen field and on his second application he got accepted.


He's now been in the job a year & loves it.


In the meantime he scrimped and saved and bought his new home.


At no point did he wallow (I wouldn't have let him anyway) about how life was unfair (it is so get over it).


If you put your mind to it you can achieve your dreams

Won't go over the same things that people have already said apart from the attitude thing - saying you're better than McDonalds... the people who work in there work their behinds off to be fair - on their feet all day, cleaning up after people who think they're too important to put stuff in a bin, spoken to like crap over a cheeseburger etc.

That aside:

• Create/update your linkedin profile
• Update your CV
• Get on indeed.co.uk and start looking for jobs within a radius you're prepared to travel. Look for 'customer service', 'warehouse', 'factory', 'administration', 'junior' jobs, and put in the covering letter section on Indeed that you're going to Uni, what you'll be doing etc.

Not sure where you're based but unless you're out in the sticks there's usually jobs in those sort of things.

Depending on where you're going to uni, there are sometimes jobs at sports/events arenas (event stewards, merchandise stalls, ticket office etc.), or like data gathering for football/rugby matches etc.

Why do we bother with this same thread every few months? Its always the same. Either Sam is a troll or a very troubled young man.

If he indeed a troubled young man:

1. You are not better than anyone. You have no qualifications and no job experience. No one wants to pay you to do anything because you are not worth it to them. You are not better than anyone. You are literally worthless.

2. Those people you think you are better than, passed the online tests. They not only turned up to interview but the people liked them enough to hire them. To PAY them money in return for their services. No one wants to do that to you.

3. Go to Uni. Get in student debt. You won't succeed and you certainly wont get a hotel management job afterwards with no experience of working. not gonna happen! I have never seen a worse candidate to go to Uni. You may as well go burn some money. but you dont have money to burn because no one wants to pay you for your services

4. Your attitude is horrendous. People have tried to give you encouragement and good advice so many times. You dont deserve their time or their energy. No one wants to spend time or energy on you.

Honestly people telling you to 'refresh your CV!' 'keep your linked in up to date' are in cloud cuckoo land. You have nothing to put on linkedin or a CV. You have no experience, no qualifications, a terrible attitude and no prospects.

I’ve never thought that I was better than people based on their job. I’ve stacked shelves, shifted timber, and cut school fields, all jobs which required little academic absolute, but I did each to the best of my ability, and actually enjoyed all of them. The people I worked with were generally not the brightest, but intelligence is no measure of a person’s moral worth.

I genuinely can’t understand this hatred and disdain that you have for your fellow man, but yes, although I try not to make moral judgements, I have made one about you based upon your posting.

Your personality defects rule out you ever sorting yourself out. I suspect that you have learning difficulties, and will hopefully get some help with this, but no-one is going to ever want to employ you when you are so very, very nasty to people based on this completely undeserved sense of superiority.

To take you at your word, you are fat, spotty, not very clever, unemployed, judgemental, and aggressive. This is not a package that is going to endear you to others nor one that puts you on a pedestal.

Christ Sam get a grip.

You complain you are better than those in McDonald’s. Hang on you applied there several times so how does that work.

Also working a a shop isn’t just about beep beep beep you have to talk to people, help them, can be stressful on a busy day.

You are not better than anyone. I’m afraid your going to have to start at the bottom to gain some skills. So what if the manager is younger than you that’s because they got off their bum and worked their way up the management chain.

To get something you have to do something. You can’t just waltz in a management job.

If you keep this attitude up at uni I’m afraid your going to be at uni for a short period of time. Some one has to serve the uni students in the pub so why not you.

You say the job your looking at has crap money well sorry as long as it pay minimum wage it’s better than nothing isn’t it.

I fear for customers when you work in hotels.

You say you haven’t had an interview before why not apply for any job to get some interview experience and please don’t expect to waltz in to the job.

Just because you apply for jobs doesn’t mean your garuntee to get one like you think you are with managers of pubs

I don't know if it has a scheme like that, but why would i want to guide people. Probably crap money as well if i am honest. But i have never had a interview in my life so i would not even no if it was a problem

Because almost everyone has to start out doing crap jobs for crap money.

I've worked in McDonalds! I have a professional office job now. But McDs taught me a lot about working with others, time keeping, standardised work. I still use examples from my time there to this day. They have process management down to a T, and quality control and hygiene. And safety! Loads to learn there.

Anyone else?

It doesn't matter whatever you say to Sam, however encouraging or patient you are, he takes no notice and just repeats the same garbage. He needs professional help.
