Entirely predictable. Be careful what you wish for, your political opponents might just be right, and you will be out of a job.

Let us also not forget "Analysis of official data by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) showed there were 707,000 people with a university degree at the end of last year who were out of work and claiming one or more benefits. This is up 46pc compared with pre-lockdown levels in 2019": https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/01/25/surge-in-gra...
The youth have been robbed by their own nation. I don't even know what advice I could give to someone under 18 anymore. If everyone gets into trades then the trades themselves will lose value. You can't have a society of plumbers.
