Recently, I've had one thing on my mind.
NOT that... you dirter!
Money. As a student there is nothing more worrying than knowing your a hundred into your overdraft - and counting. It's a constant struggle to stay above the 0 line, and the only thing that worries me is knowing I have enough money to eat! (Food is important ... yummm)
So... get a job, problem solved! Simple, right?
Unbelievably, irritatingly, terrifically... wrong.
Getting a job when you only live in one place for 41 weeks of the year is very very VERY difficult. I have been turned down by about ten different places now, and the confidence is starting to get knocked.
"Are you a student?" "Yes"... "Sorry but we don't take on students"
"Do you go home for christmas?" "Yes"... "Sorry we're only looking for christmas staff to work boxing day and new years day"
"Have you got experience in chopping peoples heads off? We're only looking for dickhead employees I'm afraid"
You see a bunch of headlines month after month moaning and exploiting the figures of how much in debt the average student gets across the front pages of every national newspaper... yet no where will employ a student! Why not sort out the job market, then place your bets on how many students would jump at the chance to have enough money to cook themselves something other than Asda's own chicken flavoured super noodles... which taste like utter shite FYI!? Why not see how many would rather see themselves slowly creep out of the overdraft which so kindly is there for the back up plan? Why not wait and see how many students would love to earn money and know they can buy new shoes!!
It seriously grates on me how these rich kid government bodies have the cheek to winge at the poorest in the country, whilst sitting in a shiny polished swanky office, with a personal assistant and tea and cake on tap. How about they get paid less, and invest more tax payers money into what matters, so then the entire country doesn't come out of our education system in a sea of debt while they pop their feet up on a designer leather sofa and watch a 100" bloody TV!
Yes, being a student is hard. It's a reality. But it's made a whole lot harder being in this kind of environment where the government detests you for wacking up your debts, yet they're the people who set the tuition fee's, employers won't take you on unless you have a degree and said debt, food bills are ever-growing, yet the cheapest stuff to buy is the stuff that results in obesity, but we have a government working on a healthy eating campaign.
Everything to me seems like a massive contradiction and that is why... ITS FRUSTRATING and i'm mini protesting by being a lazy bum with no job!!
Rant over... good night.
