This probably won't help me much, but I'm being particularly bitchy to everyone I know and care about recently, so it might help to get things off my chest
Up until before Xmas I was still at college, I was doing a 2 year course in ICT and had a job lined up at a large computer firm in a nearby city, Sheffield for the record, with a starting wage of roughly £22.5k per year. And everything was looking rosy.
Then, the company where my dad works, which is owned by a Swedish firm and has been losing money recently, suddenly declared themselves bankrupt and proceeded to start up again under a different name exactly 24 hours afterwards, in doing so exploiting a loophole in the law. Suffice to say none of the companies they are in debt to will ever see their money, and none of the workers who lost their jobs are gonna get even a penny of the £12k redundancy money they would have been entitled to. Therefore my dad is now out of work for the foreseeable future, as the nearest job in his field is in Hull, and it would cost as much as he would be earning just for accomodation and a 2nd car to get there.
So unless we had a LOT more money coming in then we're going to have to sell our house and downgrade to a smaller one (we've got a very nice house in a lovely rural area and I love it here and don't want to move) and so obviously none of us want that.
So, I'm leaving college to get any job I can find to bring us some money in, which will probably get me about £12k a year with my qualifications and thus my rosy future is now looking rather wilted
Also, I don't get on with my parents, so instead of moving out as soon as I can which i wanted to do, I'm now gonna be living here till I'm about 22. So yeah, I could do with a cuddle
