However I am aware that there is totally nothing wrong with being unemployed because there are many many reasons as to why people may be in that situation. I do feel like there a huge pressure on younger people to get into work (partly the goverment are to blame for that in a way and even some of the things that the press have said about unemployed really annoys me because there's always two sides of a coin).
I know the feeling
Honestly my current job the interview was mega stressful but the actual work don't feel much like work
