LinkedIn edition: It's a shame that a university careers website has so many advertisements for joining military and police services

It's a shame that a university careers website has so many advertisements for joining military and police services - job listings are mostly these and volunteering roles.

Indeed has hundreds of army jobs with ai posters listed - they seem to make up the vast majority of jobs in the site; page after page is 99% army jobs.

Such an in-your-face sign of regression. It is the face of corruption in the United Kingdom.

I wonder how many enlist in the army out of necessity to survive. There's more than enough money in this country, but it's not being spent on the livelihood of the people here, no, it's going largely towards the weapons trade, funding wars in other countries, and training soldiers to commit atrocities. The military's role is supposed to be protection, but it is not serving the British people, and certainly not the populations they are terrorising abroad. One day maybe we will trade the war crimes for a functional government, and allocate funds to the people again - the NHS, community spaces that include specialised support for the youth, elderly, so on, and focus on priorities like ensuring enduring jobs and opportunities.

Everyone knows we must invest in our public services again.

Being pushed towards army and police jobs, and now "working" unpaid jobs indefinitely because we have to earn the right to work for money, not through one unpaid job or 6 months of experience, but we must collect these experiences that won't pay our rent or living costs indefinitely until we get a lucky break.

A degree and/or experience aren't enough to be hired today, that's no secret. Degrees are requested for positions where you should obviously be learning on the job. People who founded the company and in many of the higher positions needed no qualifications, certainly not degrees that come with the excessive debt that they do (other countries manage just fine with funding their population's higher education - as should be the standard, as a worthy investment that benefits everyone). Degrees are demanded for the entry-level roles. But the pay doesn't take a degree into account.

The UK goverment is making it harder than ever to be a business owner, with illogical paperwork systems, and same for those who can't work and need to apply for government assistance whether that's for disabilities or any other valid reason.

I hope that people in the UK will organise and not accept the standards of living in the country to drop any further.

I know many blame immigration because that is what many public figures, politicians, and the media portray. But we must not alloany morere misplaced blame to be pushed around. We must push back. We must show up and vote. We must demand more of those in positions of authority. We must not allow hoarding of power and wealth.

We have to look around us and realise we are all struggling, research the real causes, and do what is in our own best interests (and not those whose money influences our information) and be united.
