It is often the way. fortunately the information is mostly online now so students in that position can teach themselves.
I really would reconsider the job, Andrew. There is always the prospect of overtime and promotion, and at least you will feel as if your money is your own.

I disagree with this. It is easier to find work when you don't have work. For a start you have all the time in the world to go for interviews. For professionals, you get telephone interviews, plus first interviews and second interviews. Having to take time off for these is annoying.
Also you are immediately available to start, most professional jobs have at least 4 weeks, sometimes 2 or 3 months notice to leave, which can be quite restrictive.
It is a very good point about having the time for interviews etc but if I was an employer I would choose someone who actually wanted the job, not someone who is forced to take it.
I thought if you were on the dole you were obliged to take any job offered?

Of course it will, honey! ... just as gaining extra qualifications (because you wasted the education that WE paid for) will help too.
ANYTHING is better than just sitting on your arse sponging off others.
