Why is it excessive? I have four daughters and I can assure you that not one of them was a mistake. I worked and paid taxes giving my wife and me the right to have as many children as we wished within reason. They are grown up married all baring the youngest that lives with me still. Their husbands are all in work...are they lucky...”No” they got off their ass and found work and there is work to be found, I agree with leo9 there are only a few jobs but if you can't be bothered to look you will not find them. In the UK at the moment you have to forget about the job you have been trained for [that is not available] and take another [different job] that is there.

One point I would like to mention is the fact that a lot of students that are going to university are picking classes that have no realistic chances of fast or any employment. There should be more classes teaching the basic needs for the country. You don’t need a thousand architects to build a bridge; you only need one and a good quota of qualified or semi skilled workers. There is a shortage of brick layers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, welders etc, but if the country can't be bothered to teach them for free then it can only get worse. Asking a person that has been unemployed since he left school to pay for one of those courses is obscene, and I am afraid that is the only way they will get them.

That is the good old standby for having no idea...blame the government of the day.

They are most probably like the ones here in the UK. If 4 million jobs were placed in front of them tomorrow, you wouldn’t see their ass for dust. They would be rushing home to sit in the armchair complaining about fictitious back injuries while filling in their forms for claiming disability.
