Oh cool, now I've offically run out of dole support, and been Sw. utförsäkrad från a-kassan. There's a first time for everything.
This is completely self-caused, since I turned down a steady job in contract archaeology when I was 21 and went into the PhD programme instead. It's useless. Scandinavia produces way too many humanities PhDs, and jobs are then handed out through the buddy system, not for scientific qualifications. Pointless shit.
