..... I used to be a qualified nurse. I was very good at my job and I also loved it.
... I experienced some really horrible things, including being a victim of very serious sexual crime. I couldn't work anymore.
.....many years have passed. I really want to get back into working.
During the time that I have been unemployed I have been shocked and upset by the way that people (who are considered unimportant) are treated! I'm honestly horrified by how horrible uneducated people are treated. I know this because I went from a respected professional to an unemployed council estate dweller.
....there are so many things that can't be cured by saying get a job! The utterly hideous state of housing. Living with mould and damp. And next door neighbours cannabis issues engulfing your bathroom towels. Working out how to play things with your big time drug dealer neighbour to try and keep him happy so he doesn't think you so naive that he cuckoo your flat but equally showing him don't fuck with me.
Anyway, someone said I should look into a career as an advocate....any advice please??!
