There’s no jobs out there anyway

DEAR Editor, My son left university with both BA and MA degrees. Yet according to Albert Bore ( Post, July 28), Brexit will affect youngsters getting jobs.

Mr Bore, my son left university and has been unable to secure employment at all, let alone in his chosen field.

He is qualified to work in museums as his degrees were in archaeology and Egyptology.

He tried to volunteer in our Birmingham museums, first when he was in sixth form, then as an undergraduate and then as a postgraduate – all unsuccessfully.

Just before he graduated he volunteered at the Lapworth Museum of Geology but he was only there for a little while before it closed for a refit.

He has tried getting jobs in shops etc but there is so much competition. He is helpful, kind and studious.

When he wrote of his plight to the government all they could say was “sign on and do voluntary work”.

He always helps others and volunteers at the library, the churchyard (where his father was laid to rest) and at a sheltered housing scheme where he does some gardening for the residents.

It does seem to be one rule for one and one for another.

I was widowed in the middle of his MA degree yet received no help at all from the university. Yet others are given everything.

He is my carer and he also cares for his disabled younger brother, yet he receives only carer’s allowance, nothing more. Again others seem to get more.

He is now doing some courses at the church in the hope of getting a career there.

I resent Albert Bore saying there will be less jobs for the young when they can’t get jobs in the first place – mainly due to his regime.

My son is not the exception. Sadly there are many more like him.
