A ten-year-old degree in Manageriology is not going to get you much - even if it is "Summa cum Laude"

I fell into a similar trap by doing a degree in a subject that interested me (Political Science) and then discovered that I was unemployable until I got further training.

And that was in thje boom years of the 1960s.

There are at least 75000 job vacancies in the UK,
In the South west of the there is a shortage of qualfied applicants in almost every sector, vacancies snapped up by immigrants who are better qualified than some of the locals.
The moral is to be a better candidate than the others and not complain just because you are not.

Would I work for 8.65 Euro per hour? No.
Get a well-paid job with Aldi/Lidl as a manager. Plenty of East Europeans to boss about there.
