I enjoy crocheting almost as a fidget type thing whilst listening to audio books/podcasts/lectures etc where I find it hard to focus, I’ve made things for friends and family but thinking for smaller projects maybe I could sell things as I make them. I’m not fast and dont want to do a fully fledged business, but not sure where the best place to sell would be? I have a vinted account so maybe there?
I recently had an interview for a job in UAE which I was scouted for, a week later, I’ve not heard back so assuming the worst. However, looking at the prospect of a different way of life has lit something in me, something I think has been lingering, but now I know I need to leave the UK.
I don’t know where to start really with thinking about moving, I’m not fluent in any languages other than English, but would be willing to learn. I know I don’t want to move to the US (seeing close friends become less accepting & more racist/tolerant of racism is a huge factor in my need to move and I don’t think it would be far different in the US currently).
Weather would be a huge factor too, cold sets off some chronic pain and I suffer with SAD massively.
I don’t live in a very affluent area, there’s nothing to do anymore, little to no career prospects and I don’t feel safe outside after dark as a woman.
I think I’m open to lots of places, but do I just start applying for jobs abroad? Is there a specific way to get started? I’d be moving alone & have limited assets.
I have undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Psychology & published research and lots of experience but still struggling to find a role at home. I’d love to work in wellbeing or SEN services.
Thank you, from a clueless person who needs change
