Hi.
im currently living in the south east & going through a divorce.
I have no skills on paper or qualifications so minimum wage is the only jobs available for the foreseeable future.
I dont think its possible to stay in this area, as much as i want to, its just unaffordable.
I dont have any family here other than 1 brother who id rather not move away from but realistically i cant see how i can stay in the area.
flat prices are a lot better in yorkshire & durham & im trying to find out about each and which would be better suited/most comfortable for me.
Im mainly concerned with not being able to find an entry level/minimum wage job, are there many available?
also im a pretty nervous/anxious man & safety is a big concern for me. which areas should i avoid? do you feel safe walking around alone?
Id also like to find & make friends - is there much of a community feel to durham? local activities, easy to make firends etc...
thanks
