However, a lot of people I know on dependent visas don't apply for visas for the jobs they've most wanted to do, because they know they'll be rejected (eg it's widely believed that you can't get sponsorship for part-time work, freelance work, low-paying work etc). So even though it's been a waste of time for them, it's still been a pain in the a** for us!
