That's especially true in certain programs.
Hence, get a real job. Or take a real program. But holding out for a dream job with your masters in comparitve literature is ridiculous.

Of course not, but to expect someone with a Master's level education who has been laid off from work to get a grunt labour position rather than collect EI while they look for suitable work is a bit absurd.
I don't know about you, but when I worked landscaping or hacking apart dead cows, the work schedule didn't really allow for me to check new job postings, drop off resumes or go to interviews. It's good that whatever crappy jobs you have done in your life would have allowed you that chance though.
I pay into EI and have never collected it (my wife got mat leave of course). If I get laid off, I promise you I won't be going back to working in a slaughterhouse before I have examined every opportunity to work in my field where my degree, training and experience all apply, even if it means living off EI for a couple months.
