    Without work and support network is a disadvantage. With gammy knees, temperamental back, arthritic hands etc, means my job market opportunities are very limited. Instead of hiding these drawbacks, I have decided to use them in job applications and been advised how to add them into my job interviews ( if I had enough to speak of). If you have it, flaunt it ! Not all persons can pack shop shelves and lug heavy things around or sit behind a checkout all day with hands that freeze. 
    I started my life in UK, left and grew up elsewhere and relocated back here couple years back. Illegible for study funding for another year.

    Hi @AngelaKay, 

    I hope you are well. I thought your post was really well said. I hope the year goes quickly for you if studying is something you would like to do. Also, good luck with the job hunt  :)
