[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 355986, member: 55568"] I wonder if your parents will ask for your help when they get older, things like doing some shopping for them or running them to the doctors in the car when they are too old to drive? Whilst many students get some sort of job, even if it is a temporary bit of a bore make do type of job in order that they can rent a bedsit or share of a flat, not all can. It depends on where you live. It is quite usual for such graduates to return home and then claim JSA. It's often the horrific thought of returning home that prompts most students to take any job, even if it is flipping burgers. In a university city though, there is usually bar work. You are right though, there is a lot of discrimination against fat people even if nothing is said, you can see it in their eyes. But, that is something which you can work on if you are motivated enough. Lots of jobs in sales though don't seem to be bothered. They just want you to sell. Computer support jobs, telesales, customer services all tend not to be too bothered. Remember, you are only wanting something to get you started. It doesn't have to be for life. [/QUOTE]
