To be fair, dropped out of college, started a YTS scheme, in computers and electronics, was quickly promoted to be a tutor to other students, even though I was a student myself; got a job placement at a harddisk manufacturing company, and hardware reseller, provided technical support to Atari Uk, and Commodore (Amiga), and several (in the day), leading software houses, went on to provide all computer repair in local council area, to circuit board level, eventually running the company, as the boss was away for long sessions, so all aspects of the company were run by myself, but as it was the council, they wouldn't give me a payrise, and in the meantime got myself some extra education, so I left to repair ATM's, tills, POS, servers, and became the countrywide specialist on LHPro servers, then repairing ATMs for break/fix, and then, opening bags of clothes, sorting through anything that might be ripped, or damaged, steaming them, sorting them, labelling them, and installing them onto clothes rails, assisting customers, and after rotation, rebagging clothes unsold, transporting it, to be sold as junk.
So I started with computers/electronics, but ended up sorting dirty bags of clothes, that people feel the need to fill up with old food, rats, dirty nappies, you name it, I found it...why!? But the last part is that I 'have' to do that, otherwise I don't get paid my dole money.
I walked into an Asda/Sainsbury store, and the tills were down, maybe 500-1000 people can't checkout....and I get the server working, in minutes. People can now pay for their food, and get on with their life, do they think for who fixed it? Nope!
See a long queue at an ATM? As the others aren't working? Who fixes them? ME! But who cares?
No. I just sort through your old smelly clothing, that's infested with garbage, and Joe 90 says I'm a bum. Well maybe. I work for my dole money, alongside people that have been convicted of crime, so if that's their punishment...how come I'm doing the same as them? Is it illegal to be unemployed?
