I only have a driving licence because I worked and paid for it... And that actually made sod all difference asside from two jobs I had at the latter end of the series of jobs over the last year, one because it was in Trafford Park, the other because it was, well, as a driver, and I was one of very few at that agency with a licence. (And experience driving commercials). It's more owning your own transport that matters, mobile carer work etc.
And how does one gain work experience?
When I was 16 I was working as a web designer and server engineer for UK Hosting Ltd, I worked it for £5/hr and worked my arse off, looked good on my CV and was a sodding good wage.
When I moved to Manchester I essentially had zero work experience, but got a job working on tills, did as many things there as I could.
Either way, I'd hardly say it's fair to say I've had it easy, I've worked bloody hard for a living since I was 16, and because of that, I have been able to find work.
] allow themselves to be stuck on benefits for so long? Answer - because others previously made it too easy for them. Indeed, even as a student I would happily try to get a job - but there's little point at present because there is nothing suitable (by which I mean adequately flexible to cater for University) but bar work around, and I will hold my hands up and state that I would never work behind a bar.
