I don't mean to scare myself but leaving school is like leaving the womb for the second time.
How are you meant to know when you're a kid for the rest of your life? You choose your subjects for your exams when you're SO young without realising that this exam results could shape the rest of your whole future. It's bonkers.
Jobs are so tight anyway these days, that you're not even just going against people your own age any more. Like, you could be going for a job at a clothes shop that like a forty-five-year-old mum is going for too.
You don't really actually have a choice, it's like you can't get work, so you go into education to then be whacked with a load of debt you can't pay and nobody will even give you a job while you're at college or uni because, errrr... MAYBE you're AT COLLEGE and when you're not there, you're studying or, let's face it, you're getting drunk. It's a trap. Then ONCE you get your qualifications all the jobs are taken or have been cut and then you're just there, trying to get the same job you applied for all those years back, when you were sixteen, just this time you're way too overqualified and broke. Unless you're parents are loaded or you come up with some amazing idea and become a millionaire, or win the lottery... you're screwed. A millionaire isn't even a millionaire any more. You know how long a million pounds lasts in London these days? Zilcho nilcho.
