Career Opportunities

"Career Opportunities" is a song by The Clash, recorded for their first album, The Clash. The song attacks the political and economic situation in England at the time, citing the lack of jobs available, particularly to youth, and the dreariness and lack of appeal of those that were available. They specifically mention service in the military and police forces, in addition to lackluster jobs like bus driver and ticket inspector, as well as serving tea at the BBC.

The song was rerecorded as one of the last songs on the experimental album Sandinista!, though instead of their voices they have the voices of young boys sung over a simple keyboard melody.
