Why work a soul destroying job when you don't have to?
Because sitting on your arse all day getting benefits is the lowest form of life you can have.
Not if you're not supporting a half dozen kids and a drug habit.

In either situation, get a job.

I wasn't talking about you, but I'm glad to see you're quick to prove something.

...unless you have half a dozen kids and a drug habit. :olo:

40 hours a week x say 5, is what, 200 a week. 800 before tax and shit.

Now then, i have to pay bills, i have rent, elecy, gas, water, car, tax/mot etc etc etc... What help do i have? Fuck all.

People on the dole get mos of it for free and what they dont, they get help with. Plus they get given money anyways.

See what im saying?
there's a point where you have to ask yourself if the amount you're getting payed is worth your time. If you're over 19 years old and making below $7 an hour then frankly it isnt worth your time. You need to go out and find something that pays more. You have to remember that time is a commodity and as such it has a monetary value. If you aren't getting payed an appropriate amount for your TIME then get the fuck out because you're being ripped off and are likely losing money in the long run.
Im getting paid in POUNDS, not dollers. And 5.10 an hour is fine for a farty arse job that wont last long and is just there bwteen uni/life.

So its fine for me. I manage.

Since it's in pounds it is a bit better. but my point still stands

yes, just because we are "teh people on teh intardnet" means we have no cred. no matter the fact that like 60% of the people here are in the design slash creative branche in one way or another :icon14:

to pull out an old favorite: "you have no idea what you are talking about".
here's a tip, and you best take this little nugget: if you want a carreer in drawing and/or artistics, know that 80% of the job consists of rejection and critisism. you really need a much thicker skin than you have now to last even a day.

here's the predicted reply to this post:
