Aldi? Graduate Scheme? Bugger them. Start a business.

One of the reasons we started Arctic Farm back in 2007, whilst we were at University was because we told by the media, that we'd never get jobs. We'd be buggered, with nowhere to go, noone to love us and a heap of debt. So we decided to start early and started selling frozen yogurt.

It seems like this story has reared its ugly head and it probably seems to be harder than ever, with only one graduate job for every 70 applicants they say. (With Aldi's grossly paid scheme getting 12k applications for 50 places!). Gordon Bennett.

We at Arctic Farm want to say to those on the scrap heap...

Start a business.

You might not get an aircon office (though in winter, it will be sufficiently chilled)
And, there won't be a company car, posh name plate or arse kisssing waiting for you.
Sure, you might have to ration yourself on bans for an extra while and stinge beer from your Dad.
Your mum might even kick you out the kitchen for making a froyo mess.

But it'll be bloody worth it in the end.
And you can make your own name plate (or badge if prefferd).

So if you're considering it, go for it. Thou shall not be disappointed. It's one of the funnest and most empowering things you can do. And if you screw up, try again. (Or maybe by then, there will be a few jobs about and you'll be able to tell them you did something cool)

And also, don't worry about having the perfect idea. Just go for it. That's what we did
