Small problems compounded. Big decisions.

Im not usually one to moan too much but I just feel like venting

First problem was losing my job. i know it was my own fault and that in itself didn'bother mee too much. however now after 2 months of trying to find work its beginning to suck. having no money was always a forseeable consequence of losing a job but the knockon effect on my life as well as my mood of late has been a bit more drastic than i had hoped. i have to see my friends go away on another mad holiday to some whore filled island in the sun without me which is never good and i think this will end with me drifting away from my friends.

Shortly after this my maternal grandmother passed away. Me and my family were always close tp her and she was the typical matriarch of a large family. With her passing I supppose it seems like the end of an era, Life is changing rapidly for me and although it was always inevitable I guess I just feel a bit lost.

the one plan i did have was to start uni to study law, that has kept me going for the last year as i've done an adult ed course which iff i get the conditions on my grades i'll be accepted into a good university and hopefully end up with a law degree. The idea being i could go from no decent qualifications to lawyer in about 5 or 6 years. now I have finished the course and I think i did ok, but to bring this sappy livejournal reject of apost full circle I cant pay my fee's being as I lost my job and all that. They wont tell me my results until they get their cash and I probably don't have time to get it before my uni application goes dead.

basicly I don't have a scooby whats going on in my life for the next year. i have decided however that if uni goes pete tong then I am definitely absconding, how hard is it for a brit to get a working visa to the states? failing that i'll bolt to some european place and skip the need for paperwork and visa's.

so wise forum I come unto thee (lol) seeking ideas, with the possibility of a completely free calender and no real comittments.... what do?


EDIT I'm not drunk, I'm posting on my phone.

You want to get a work Visa, to work here? It's not much better.

When you don't have a job, your job is to look for a job. Solid 8-12 hours a day, hitting the streets, craiglist etc.

And depending how much humility you have, can make it easier or harder to find a job.

As depressing as that damn post was, I laughed my ass off.

OMFG deja-vous again... I swear this is the same thread too, but it was created yesterday. DAMN YOU SPACE-TIME!!!

Or move to Canada...

Ah why not? Free healthcare like you guys, less national debt than the US, better job market (imo), overall higher standard of living. Hell, we even serve the same queen!
