Time to give up?

[GJFR]

I'll give you my situation;

I've been at college since Sept, was laid off from my previous job around then. I'm 27 and simply trying to get a trade. I've been looking for any role as an apprentice for months upon months. Every week I spend a whole day phoning up through the JIB with a list of firms they supplied me, gone through the yellow pages, started looking around nationally as opposed to locally and tried the governments apprentice sites and services for the maturer student. With that I couldn't believe it when every service I phoned kept giving me numbers to another one and ended up with the last number being the first place I phoned which flat out refused to help me due to me not being one the "lost generation" (Spare me).

Even my own college flat out refused to help me due to my age.

Considering I'm on month 8 studying one day a week and done my exams and have another 2 years to go, is it really worth carrying on because quite frankly, it seems like a waste of time if you're older.

Thanks Jason, I've sent peterb2428 a pm explaining that after the mods deleted the spam from the post it made my post look like I was having a go at him. Also made me look like a bit of fool (more than normal).

Public apology to peterb.
