I go for interviews, apply and look for jobs everyday, send my cv to companies that arent even looking for anyone and know I'd be in a better position if I got a job, they just cant be bothered they get told they'd be better off but think yer bt I'd have to get up early etc
I used to live on a small estate where there were only two people who worked - myself and another guy. everyone else was on benefits or claimng carers allowance for disabled spouses who were perfectly capable of looking after themselves.
its easy to see why some people say 'sod it' and jack it all in.
