UnemployedI was Mordred writes, "I've been out of work for a while now... however, every cloud must have a silver lining. Tell us your stories of the upside to unemployment."
You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

This is the irony, though, isn't it?When the employer insists that you must have had a university education, but in many of these cases, the Bachelor's Degree in Underwater Basket Weaving isn't worth the paper it's printed on in terms of the skills they might otherwise have gleaned from doing an apprenticeship at the aquatic basket-weavers' centre when they finished school.
Yes, I know it's old-fashioned and contains more than a pinch of intellectual snobbery, but I really object to this government policy of making sure half the population has a degree, regardless of subject or content. It doesn't help anybody, as far as I can see...
