I just graduated with a bachelors in business management. Ideally wanting to work my way up the ladder in the grocery store that Iāve worked part time at for 5 yearsā¦
Full-time student for the forseeable futureā¦in my 3rd year in university right now and will probably go on to get at least a Masters. I work in radio promotions when Iām not on the student grind.
I was active for 4 years and just recently got out. I was in Germany for 2 years, Texas for about a year, and other areas for the rest of my time. Iām a full time civilian now tho and couldnāt be happier XD
For the past 4 years I have been a proud Stay-at-Home Dad. Before that I worked construction, mostly with insulation. Both installing and estimation. It was a horrible, itchy job lol
Other than that, I start collections and then sell them online. Thatās more of a result of my OCD combined with my short attention span than a job though.
I was the coordinator of an international school for the past few years. Packed it in last year to pursue my interests in Chinese language. Now a full time student, and to be honest just straight chilling. Do a bit of teaching every now and then for a bit of extra cash (about Ā£30 an hour).
Thanks for calling me a cheating scumbag, really makes me feel welcome.
Yes. Not ashamed to admit Iām in currently in the welfare system. Which means I had to turn down all my hobbies to absolute zero, many of my social stuff and denying to go out or even visiting birthdays just to be able to keep paying bills.
I struggle for many years now to get out of the vicious cycle of temporary job to welfare, to temporary job. Just searching, applying and being denied for an application just stacks up on the depression. Finding a job that fits me and doesnāt drive me complete insane or destroys my self-esteem is starting to look more and more like something that is never going to happen.
I thank the welfare system for not having to live in a house made of cardboard on the streets, being the last safety net for the ones that struggle to get their life on track.
On the sideā¦ I got a degree in marketing and communication, which took me 6,5 years to get (average is 3,5-4 years) due to illness making many recruiters not even willing to invite me when I apply for job. The one that tries to reach out to me once every few months turns me down for someone thatās 10 years younger than myself and fresh out of college.
I tried starting my own business a couple of times, in different branches all failing on the part that I have no personal funds to invest (I either burn my savings on paying bills or not even able to build up any savings at all) and banks etc. just do not want to borrow you any money at all for anything.
