Oh the Wonders Never Cease...
The wages: 40+ hour weeks. Husband working part-time and yet we struggle. I tried like many others at uni, and I hated it! I'm glad I left—glad to be away from that.

Disability Rights and Working
I have been working from home since I moved elsewhere from where I used to live. I’ve heard it said that there used to be a work from home stigma attached but many in 2018 do work from home at a solid job. With my knee healing up, I can’t afford to work out of the house just yet. I might be able to tolerate a job I have to sit down at. But the nutritional supplement store is a standing up job. I would keep my shifts short starting out. I wrote in my last survey for my job training school that nobody wants to hire someone with multiple chronic illnesses or disability outright.

The Truth About Working in Retail
1. Retail workers don't get half the amount of praise that we deserve. We always put customers first even though half the time they're wrong, and we get paid ridiculously low amounts for helping people, making you feel confident, keeping you safe. We put up with a lot of sh*t. Here are probably not even half of the things that we have to put up with on a daily basis.

How to Help Your Freelance Career
Imagine not earning a single penny for a whole month, but not classing it as a ‘holiday.’ I've been ‘working’ nearly every single day over the last month but have yet to earn any money. But the definition of "working" according to the Oxford Dictionary online is this: “having paid employment.”

Life as a Student Nurse
Life as a student nurse was never meant to be easy, but does it really have to be this hard? This is the question I have been asking myself for just over a year now. I began my journey as a student nurse in March 2017. I arrived fully expecting three years of hard grafting, intellectual turmoil, and an abysmal social life. From the reviews of nursing students and registered nurses combined, this was only too fair to expect. However, recently I have began to really think about my career path and this question dawned on me: why does it have to be this hard?

Life-Advice from an 18-Year-Old
The moisture clings to my clothes, dragging the baby hairs from my bun and into my eyes. An unbearable heat buoys lazy flies around my face – their perpetual buzzing like the white-noise of the forest. My back aches; ankles buckling under the weight of the pack that is glued to my back by the copious amount of sweat I’ve accumulated under the trees. A vine twists around my boot, the worn sole covered in decaying leaves. I trip, reaching for the closest tree but instead breaking through foliage, stumbling out into the most beautiful scene. A ravine. An open beauty made of rock and leaf – red and green – completely devoid of human life. A deep rumbling comes from below – underscoring the annoying buzz of insects – the refreshing sound of crystal water, an unstoppable current carrying life. I take it all in, in awe, and fall inwards...

Confessions From a Bridal Stylist
It's the most important day of your life... so far. Every bride believes she will never have another day so special. While that is partially true, I wasn't allowed to point out the average bride is in her early 20s. She has many milestones ahead of her. Her wedding day will always be special, but bigger days are coming. I was forever silent about the years to come, and much more, until now.

Chronicles of a Parking Warden
Life as a Parking Warden Why would I take this job you ask? It’s in the top four occupations with the biggest hate base. I don’t think anyone plans on being a parking warden. Well for me, the money per hour was tantalising, it was very flexible, and I worked alone, which meant I wasn’t monitored. So really, I could do as I pleased. Everything which gave me time and allowed me to focus on my career and dream.
