Work in construction as a joiner/carpenter, the money is ok but you burn yourself out everyday, I'm 28 but already my knees are pretty much f****d, my thumbs get stiff and click a lot, probably an early sign of arthritis, my back hurts on occasion, nearly cut my finger off once and broke another finger on a different occasion, all just to get paid, it might not seem worth it, but I have no other qualifications, so it's this or a minimum wage job with not many prospects.
I'm constantly drawing and I'm currently working on a kids book I'm going to be submitting to publishers once it's perfected, chances are slim it will get published but I have to try, if you ask me, working for anybody but yourself is a joke, I understand how the world works but it's crummy, surely life shouldn't be you putting in all the hard work while someone else reaps the benefits, is that what life really should be? Tax is an absolute joke, in the UK it's designed to keep the rich, rich and the poor, poor.
I realise nothing is gonna change in my life unless I do something about it myself, I can't keep going to a job I don't love, 5 days a week for the rest of my life, without trying to change my life to the one I want to live.
