Confessions of Unemployed Students #2

The second installment of my interviews with unemployed students is with Gerard Goucher, he is currently studying ARTS in NUI Maynooth.




What's the hardest thing about being an unemployed student?

"Not having cash to spend on whatever you want. Everything gets spent on important things and coffee. Yes that's about right."

How do you manage?

"I've had to go into my savings which I'm lucky to have. Working full time last year is having it's benefits!"

What are you listening to at the moment?

"For the first time in ages I'm listening to loads of new music. Sissy, debutantes, September Girls and the #1s. I've also gotten majorly into the band Deeelite. How do you say de groovey?"

So you would recommend them?

"I would recommend them all. They've all got ep's and albums out recently so get on it. Also, dee-lite's best of is supreme too."

If you could give any piece of advice to a large group of people, what would it be?

"My advice would be to always stay on top of work and always have good attendance in college or anything like that. It makes life a whole lot easier. Also, putting out will make you popular!"

What's your confession?

"I confess that I have sinned, through my thoughts and through my words."

Confessions of unemployed students




 

Nina Keller: Via letudiant

For the next six weeks I'll be focusing Confessions of Dublin on the subject of unemployed students. Interviewing them, finding out the challenges that are faced with a student life and how they manage to last with barely any money. 

I also intend on getting a confession out of them while doing so.
