Maybe time to rethink

Do you realise how difficult the job and housing market is in England? If you want to live in London, you are looking at a minimum £400 per week for a tiny studio - of which there is a shortage of at least 300,000 on the market as we speak. However, your job will not even pay you £400 a week, so how will you afford a tiny studio for rent which doesn't even exist on the market because 1 million people are lacking homes?
You could find an apartment for less somewhere far outside of London, but where will you work then? Traveling into London alone will cost you the equivalent of one week's rent.I don't think people have any clue how difficult it is to work and survive in London unless you already have a job and residency waiting for you, arranged by an employer.
