Yeah, sounds like what I had when I graduated. The caseworker is all 
like "ah, I see you have some experience cleaning fridges. We have 
*lots* of cleaning jobs."

Apparently her job isn't to help me find meaningful employment. Her job 
is to get me off benefits as fast as humanly possible so they can stop 
paying me.

At this point, my mum kinda went all HULK-SHASH on her ass. (She does 
that sometimes.) And it's true - I didn't spent 6 years (and tens of 
thousands of pounds) in higher education so I could wash fridges.

*looks around*

...damn, I fail! :-/
