It's all a game of chance

I read this article today, 2.38 Million unemployed across Britain.It also dawned on me that I myself, like many who graduated last year have just reached the one year anniversary of leaving university.

In the Twelve months since I moved home from university I have worked for roughly four months, three months in paid employment, and one month worth of volunteering.

So for nine months I've been invalid, unable to claim benefits from the state, and no one, not career advisor, family friend, employment officer, friend or professional has been able to offer advice which can work. Why?

The job world at the moment is about two things, chance and luck.

It's definitely chance rather than deserved if you are offered a job in the current climate, and there's nothing more than luck in keeping the job and getting more work from it.

From a personal perspective, it's taken me a year to work out which field of work I'm best suited to. Ironically it's the field I've spent the last year trying to get into.

But what about the other graduates, and what about those who unlike me have a rent to pay and a family to feed.

How do they work again?

The most infuriating and painful fact about this question is that no one can find a good answer for it.

Some have claimed, the BNP for example to have a answer, as disturbing their answer is however, they've managed to do what the other political parties cannot do, which is suggest an answer to the problem.

Let me just make it clear right now that in no way do I think the BNP have made a good suggestion nor do I support any political views that the BNP have ever held.

The question I have is what hope can the unemployed have if the powers that be (government) cannot think of a realistic answer to the problem in hand.?
