Thanks for posting this; it gave me hope as I take temp jobs where I currently live to save up and gain some experience to finally be able to move. I hope you're doing well, Jade.

That sounds highly appealing, actually. Shame about the low pay and lack of respect inherent to that kind of work.

already.
Hey! Somebody gets it.

You can sit around waiting for the game to change. Or you can use the game to your advantage and try to change it. Go ahead and retreat to serfdom. I'd rather be a trojan horse.

Um no. Welfare systems can be dramatically cut. Apparently you don't remember the reforms of the 1990's do you?

If you want to slack off go ahead but it just means more for the rest of us.
