My plans are itinerant craftsman and repair man, I will be supporting me no one else, well me and my cat, but for now I am in part time education studying for a BA in Applied Art with a view to being able to call myself a metalsmith via academic and professional qualifications as it seems in society now people are only entitled to call themselves whatever dependant on a piece of paper proving training has been done. My employment history was aircraft technician, plant repair, marine repair and domestic appliance repair, I was also a silversmith, but I had a nervous breakdown leading to where I am now, a stage of life that has taught me a lot, I now have empathy for the challenged whereas I did not have before. Boot on the other foot, it is a helpful lesson to be understood.
A man of your many talents should be able to find work without too much trouble. Have you thought about moving to another part of the country to find work?
I wished you lived here...I wouldn't have to work 90hours a week if you did, and you would have a good job!
Like I said in another post, I am working out the after affects of a nervous breakdown which resulted in loss of marriage, loss of job, loss of home and finally loss of my car, moving to a friendlier part of the country where I had memories, getting a well paid job inside of a week and being made redundant one day before two years employment was worked. The result, deep depression and a couple of end it attempts as everything I had worked hard for was gone, at past forty I had achieved nothing. So education was a way forward, retrain, get a degree like everybody else in the job queues so I stand a chance, but college has given me a label to bear, I have been diagnosed as with aspergers syndrome, that and dyspraxia, which goes some way to explain some things, but creates problems in other areas, employability being one of them. So an option, self employed me my own boss taskmaster and only me to blame when it goes wrong, self employment is my only way forward, either that or a life of benefits and what the government schemes up next to punish the unfortunate.
