I don't deny there's folks abusing the system. And may they burn for it.
But you've made it out as though it's far bigger than what it is. There are no decent jobs out there - they're all ZHC's and NMW part-time jobs ffs. They're no good to anyone.
I would beg to differ. They may not be good as a long-term thing, but there have been quite a few studies highlighting the damage to ones career if you have large gaps in employment on your CV. Some go as far as to suggest that it's more harmful to your prospects than a criminal record. In terms of your prospects of getting a job you do want therefore, it's better to be searching for it whilst in employment than not.
