Autistic here with shizophrenic depression periods earlier in my life and have been in "similar" isolated situations as him(without the welfare) so i kinda mildly understand how he thinks and feels about his environment and i do not think a site as this is able to trigger him in making a step out of his comfort zone and this might just be a way for him to have some interaction that he longs to and having control over the anxiety that it gives him.

Family or any real person close to him is what would be helpfull and if he does not have that(likely not) he really should consider chatting more personal 1 on 1 with people.

But we should not be judging too much,its is hard to see full reality when living like that.

Damn, how far can $140 go in Mexico? I make more than that every day.

It is obvious that most  people on here have never been unemployed or long term unemployed are employable and have relevant skills and experience. If you ever become unemployed or worse long term unemployed, you may understand our situation a lot better.  It is harder now with more people looking for work and not enough jobs being created by business or government. Most unemployed do not have stacks of cash laying around so they can set up a business and effectively pay themselves to work and take on all the costs and the risks of business failure.

...Maybe because we actually made an effort and worked towards what we have? Do you know how difficult it is to work in my field? There is something like 80 applicants per position. It's not just a game of luck you know.

Our unemployment rates are low, there is tons of work available... You should try actually writing a proper resume and cover letter and not spamming employers with emails, go through the appropriate avenues.

At the end of the day, the sad reality is... You being unemployed is your own fault. - The sooner you realize this and work to rectify your issues, the sooner you can enter the workforce.
But as far as this thread itself is concerned, I am out. You need to start paying attention and taking on peoples advice who have succeeded, rather than brushing them aside and saying how unfair everything is... It's frankly a slap in the face to those who work hard to get to where they are.

PS - what field you work in?

Honestly people like him should be deported to eastern Europe for 12 months. Then when they return they would never complain how hard and infair life is in Australia.

The problem is - i am poor and want nice things, the solution is - i must gt a job, then work my way up to get a better job and so on.

If you don't try nothing happens. If you try there is plenty of opportunities to make it here. Hell I come here as a migrant, I had to learn English, didn't know anyone and still managed to go from broke to someone that can be happy with the hard work I put in to get to were I am. When my friends were out partying and traveling the world, I was getting my degree then masters sacrificing my weekends to get it over the line. Would have been so easy to just kick it at the beach all weekend, but if I did that I be were some of my friends are, still bumming around on a beach.

I am a volunteer and paid professional firefighter (I am in two different agencies) and an emergency services officer. I am also a part-time disability care worker as that provides stable work loads and thus income.

Before that I used to be a cleaner, which paid for my tertiary level education.

I don't think I have done to bad for a high-school drop out who was homeless at one point.

Exactly. Hard work and determination can definitely take you places in this country if you are willing to make an effort and have a long-term plan with realistic goals. - So good work with your success, you made the right choices and kept working hard at it, it's a good achievement.

I don't generally play the "pity party" game that others like to play, mostly because I have been at the bottom... And I care for those who are generally worse off anyway. So whilst I may seem "harsh" in my approach, some people need a dash of reality.
