But Ash, you have no customers, no experience, no van and little in the way of tools. You expect the tax payers to keep on supporting you whilst you're out of work, the government to support you in becoming self-employed yet you won't display any get up and go, and get yourself a job to get yourself where you want to go. With that kind of attitude you'll never move forward. Dreams don't get handed to you on a plate, life isn't fair and despite everything people have said to you on here, you still think you know more than them. You're 25, not 15. By the time I was 25 I had a mortgage and my own house, a full-time job that I hated but an opportunity came along at work and I took it. Now I'm a middle manager in a manufacturing company, with a bigger house and a bigger mortgage, working for some people who I do wonder where they get their brains from but it's part of life's rich tapestry. you do the things you don't like in order to get the things you want.
