Have not had real work for 16 months. (Oh, a few odd jobs here and there, but nothing lasting.)
I am down to $270 in the bank, and I live in my car. We are in the middle of a depression, as you may know, though nothing like the ones in your country. I am trying to get work, any work, but 10% of the population has no job now. And Texas is notoriously bad about relief for the unemployed. Relief expired June 5th, and the Republicans (our Tories!) torpedoed any consideration of a bill that would extend it. They hate Obama with the fury of a thousand suns.
I don't really know all the ins and outs of life in the USa, but I imagine it must be bad for someone in your situation.
Is it feasible to use the car and drive somewhere where people are a bit more sympathetic, and you stand a better chance of finding work?
Whatever happens, i wish you well. You still have internet access - maybe that can help you lok for work in your chosen field?please keep me posted, I have come back from pretty tough times myself - I would love to see you come through this, and I am sure you will , given time.
