Hi Everyone,
I just thought, I'd take a moment or two to introduce myself.
I've been in teaching for over twenty years. the kids these days are just completely unruly and parents expect miracles when they're unable to handle them. God forbid, should you say anything to their child, they will match down faster than you could chewy a fruit pastille. At one time I used to thrive off it but as you age the pressure gets to you. I walked out of a well paid job however, if it compromises your health then it's time to hang up the gloves.
I attempted to break into industry as my background is fundamentally IT, as well as it being the subject I taught but sadly without avail. I did get the impression, industry don't like teachers in addition to that I was fast approaching "50" and although they'd never admit to your face, why have a haggered and battered 50 year old, when you can have some in their early twenties, probably twice as quick on their feet.
Evidently, I was unable to penetrate into industry and have been doing odd jobs, nothing of any great significance, even attempted taxi driving, good money, if your willing to put the hours in but horrendous job if you have a bad back. Under the current environment even that line of work has completely been strained.
For the past two to three months, I've tried numerous ways to make of a go of it online, from completing surveys, testing websites, clickworker, gamestester, etc etc, most of which suggest you will earn in the region of at least $10ph, biggest load of codswallop, that is indeed if they decide to pay you as some of them have specific "guidelines" that you need to adhere too, in my view if they can get away without paying you they will.
So, here I am attempting to generate further ideas from The Money Shed and you people whom I hope will perhaps point me in the right direction. I fully appreciate that everyone has a story to tell and we are all stuck in a similar situation, not much out there and people are trying to survive due to inflated prices from shopkeepers have absolutely morals.
It was just supposed to be a short note just to say HI and introduce myself, some how I manage to waffle on, my apologise for that. Yes, so here I am looking to find some ideas in the event that it will hopefully generate into something more fruitful, here's hoping.
Thank you for those that took the time to have a read and any suggestions would greatly be appreciated
