I know how you feel, lack of jobs, and in your (my) local area no one even wants to use your well-acquired Radiography skills for free. I have been told that training posts are only open to Rads that work within the trust due to 'Insurance' issues to do with Radiation protection. Indemnity Insurance under the Society of Radiographers doesn't count for anything...
This post was going to be a much longer rant, but then I decided to calm down and do something more positive instead (eat a packet of crisps).
