Yeah runny egg all the way!!! It's a bit gross otherwise imo 😂👍
I've got to find a job too - dreading it and yearning for it at the same time. I've not been working for a couple of months and it's time to get myself back out there 😂
Great work on the portfolio hey - massive well done to you 😃👍👍
I feel like a bum too. I can't wait to have an income again to make things easier tbh and I like having a job (usually, some are shit but it is nice to work when you can)

I was in sales and marketing believe it or not for years 😂 it was soul sucking 😂 I've had random jobs here and there as well due to episodes but sales is where I know what to do.
I want to be a support worker in some way because I really just want to help. Helping other people or animals or the environment. I think I'm stable enough and I'm scared of the industry change but I need to have a go.
What about you @Former-Member ? Before your studies I mean 🙂👍

A drafter, drawing stuff for engineers etc @ArtistZ . Been there since I left school except a few years due to no work. But yeah I like animals and the water - I go fishing quite a bit.
did environmental studies - didn't finish it though. But yeah quite a bit in common in regards to the tragectory of work.
now thinking of being a counselor lol but it is a big step, but I'm gonna take it one step at a time

Being a drafter is cool - a lot of patience and detail focus!
Working towards being a counsellor is a wonderful thing 😃 good on you! It is a chunky goal but a wonderful one 😃 like you said, one step at a time 😃👍
I don't go fishing because I can't cast 😂 when I was a kid I was put on yabby net duty - propbably safer for everyone 😂 but water is amazing and helps a lot. I really like water birds and get excited to see any sort of egret 👍👍👍

Hahahaha too true. I only
started working in sales because I talk so much really 😂
I never cared about my targets and spent way more time asking people if they are okay and listening to their stories. Usually at the end I'd be like 'oh shit I was supposed to get you to buy this - do you need it?' 😂😂😂
