Yeah. Who else desperately needs a job yet can't find one in Wollongong?

My previously hard-line stance against telemarketing is waning. Eh.

I don't recommend you alter your stance on telemarketing. I'm coming to see unemployment as a bright alternative to this destructive affliction that is telemarketing.

*resists making comment on the link between unemployment and creative arts degrees*

so what types of places have you tried? and why do they say no? is it because your just searching for a session time job? cause ive never had trouble finding jobs around the area?

i've had trouble finding a job and know that a number of people at campus east are also having the same problem.

they are there if you search really really really fucking hard apparently.

i'm going to search full force next session :uhhuh: after coming back to campus from sydney.

and dawso? our current degree doesn't have much to do with a part time job that you do during university. i have commerce friends who are struggling to find a job.
