well...
I came out the Army last year and there wasn't much call for Tank Drivers at the time and too many under-qualified Photographers taking all the work.
As I joined when I was 17 straight from college I didn't have much previous experience and nobody wanted me. Instead I decided to go to Uni so I could get an easy student loan as I was running out of money.
I picked photojournalism but soon found out it was crap. One of the few lectures I did go to was war photography. I couldn't sit and listen to someone who'd just graduated, talk complete nonsense about a something I was very experienced in. I decided the other lectures must be a load of rubbish too so after Christmas I did a runner from my student house and moved to London to find work.

That was a mistake.

It's now almost a year after I left the army and I have only worked small, petty jobs since (Labour, 4 days on a building site, bar work and a skateboard shop) and am currently unemployed still.

I have been volunteering as an adult instructor for the Army Cadets though. Just got a few more months before I can re-enlist in the Army as a Medic.
Might stay in for the long haul if they take me back. Plus I get a few K as a welcome back present from them. I could do with that right now.

EDIT: In the mean time I've just been on here, or arguing with people on YouTube.
