and it seemed that most of the female pupils' idea of careers research was to find out about all the state benefits they can get,
"one" of my many and varied past employments was running various "Back to Work" workshops for Employment Services.
During one "young" clients interview her aspiration's was to have x number of children at strategic intervals, this would then result in the eldest one looking after the rest of the brood, so she could get on with her life.
Plus being young enough that clothes would be passed down from one-to-another cutting down on costs.
At what was the then current rate of benefit for child allowance etc she had it worked out exactly how many children she would have to produce to give her the amount of money she wanted.
But it did not stop there, as the kids grew up she said she would then either force them to go to work or claim unemployment benefit "PLUS housing benefit or mommy will throw them out"
So as to be able to live a rich life by the time she was 25.
I vary rarely reported anyone for not looking for work.
But for this one "I MADE AN EXCEPTION"
