Unemployment is a big problem

This is actually my first post.

Anyways I was going to university for a year doing money, banking and finance, and decided to change my career into something more helpful for society. Doing social work. So I have taken a few years out. To get more qualifications.

However I have a few problems.

Getting a job is next to impossible. Believe me I work harder than 90% of people to try to find a job, I have good education and some previous job experience. I am not even looking for a great job. A Job in Mcdonalds would be fantastic! lol. However due to recession, competition etc. Its extremely difficult.

I have tried everything, from trying to make my own website, to even last night trying to fill out paid surveys online (god this makes me angry) to make money. During my time being unemployed for three months the jobcentre did not pay me, and there is another person that owes me hundreds of pounds. This all in all, leaves me extremely poor, depressed, angry and desperate for money.

However I feel that I am far from the only person with a problem with employment. If I work this hard and have enough qualifications and job experience, surely others who are a little lazier and have even less job experience such as my brother are struggling even harder.

It is understandable why there is so much crime out there. On top of the brainwashing that children receive about needing money through media, It is extremely difficult to find a very low paying job.

I have known about the problems of the system for a very long time, the day the world trade towers collapsed, my dad told me it was set-up. I have been into meditation for 3 years and I actually have a channel on youtube which I have lately added several useful videos on

http://www.youtube.com/user/meditationforfree

I want to do something to help society, however I have also tasted the employed life.

I recently had a job interview as a salesman on the streets of london. Where I would wake up at 7am, come home at 7pm and spend from 11am to 5pm approaching strangers on the street, trying to brainwash wash them into buying useless products they dont need (sales tactics to do paintballing to people who might not want it). I actually did this for a day. I got home and slept straight away.

It seems there is extreme problems in society. I want to do something to help create a better life not just for others but for myself too.

Indeed.

Another person right here with the same problem

> It is extremely difficult to find a very low paying job.

Indeed.

Especially around where I am as people employ so many illegal immigrants that they can get away with paying them 1/10th of the legal minimum wage. (50p an hour.)

Only way to beat that is to offer your labour for even less..

> I have been into meditation for 3 year

I started 20 years ago, I do find it helps me to focus on tasks and relax.

> I have also tasted the employed life.

Me2.

> trying to brainwash wash them into buying useless products they dont need

Yes, I'm not keen on doing that either, I don't think I could sell a product I didn't believe in myself.

Snap!

> I have tried everything, from trying to make my own website

What was your site about ?

I'm in the process of doing my own sites at the moment, though only an ameatur designer/coder, and I've yet to make any real money from them, they are some of the projects I'm working on to try and start my own businesses and make money.

A good job search website I found by the way is:

http://www.indeed.co.uk

Not that its that much good as they are as you and I know, rather difficult to get even if you do find one..

thanks for the reply,

thanks for the reply, sometimes you feel alienated and think your the only who thinks these things.

but yeah my site is on meditation, I was going to make one on weightlifting using the keyword academy as a guide

I will check out the site thanks.

I havent checked out too much of the site though so I guess I will find things I can do. Although I can find my own answers

meditation and weightlifting

Re. meditation, what are your views on this software ?

http://www.bwgen.com

Weighlifting interests me as I want to get fit enough for community building efforts, as it will save on spending money on equipment when brute force can do the task instead!

Perhaps a Z gym could be something to imagine...

(Being how expensive gyms tend to be, and how benefical being fit and strong is when you need to build things, and/or find a job.)

that is a pretty damn cool

that is a pretty damn cool site about meditation, you made?

I was wondering how to create binaural beats like holosync or lifeflow. lol lol

also that site about job seems ok. I will have to check it out more thoroughly

and a site about weightlifting is pretty easy, I will have to spend some time to make
Ive got one article on my site about getting a six pack, although its just a start.

exerciseathomeforfree.com

Getting muscley has almost nothing to do with spending money at the gym, thats a big lie.

Then it is handy we have you to educate us on how to do so without one.

I look forward to reading more about how to get in shape at low cost. (At the moment myself I have some weights at home, but I have pondered that a local low cost gym might be a good idea to help people get into shape, though with little in the way of resources to put that into practice!)
