Has anyone else gone from University to a minimum wage job?

I've worked for less than minimum wage after completing a degree.
I went from university to unemployment (applying for very competitive schemes and looking for jobs abroad), and then realised I'd been unemployed too long so went abroad for a £300 pcm. teaching job. Best decision I ever made (the experience was great for my CV).

I know, but people on this forum of all people should understand that what we choose to do at age 17 when we go through UCAS isn't always the best choice; we are very naive at that age. I did it because I enjoyed it at A-level. It may be oversubscribed, but that doesn't take anything away from the injustice I feel from a lifetime of hard work, initiative and top grades, resulting in complete unemployment. It's not like i'm asking to walk into a psychology-related job.. :frown:
