I’m 21, about to finish history at a RG uni but have not got onto of the grad schemes I tried for (despite probably it looking like I’ll get a first).
I’m from a poor family in a very deprived area, not the best relationship with my mum due to her abusing me when I was younger/allowing her partners to abuse me, but I’ve lived at home throughout uni and it’s been fine but it looks as if she is now going to kick me out.
I have no other family. £1000 saved from a lifetime of birthday/christmas money. I’ve been applying to unskilled jobs for approx 6 months and as my area is pretty much devoid of anything it’s been fruitless so far. Despite saying this I wouldn’t like to be too far away from here, as I’d like to keep close-ish to my siblings and friends.
What do I do? I’m so lost and feel completely hopeless at the moment. My friends have all got children, and are moved out and married but that seems impossible to do alone. I wish I’d done an apprenticeship and got some money in instead of being left with a degree that’s useless outside of London.
