Overqualified Spanish toilet cleaner's rant goes viral...

A young Spaniard with three university degrees, including a master's, has caught the attention of the country's media after he sent out a viral message about how he's ended up cleaning toilets in London.

Benjamín Serra has struck a chord with many young Spaniards who find themselves having to do jobs overseas which have little to do with what they've studied.

"I received a distinction for both my degrees and I now clean SHIT in a foreign country," Serra wrote in a Facebook message which has been shared almost 900 times.

The 25-year-old moved to London in October 2012 to complete a three-month-long Leonardo work placement at a Spanish-language newspaper.

Serra found himself having to take up a job in a coffee shop when his internship finished. Full story...
