    You have all been trolled!
    Sometimes my advice may not be great, but I'm not perfect and I do try my best. Please take this into account.

    Supermarket, Carer, Delivery Driver etc etc. Domino's are always looking and will recruit pretty much anyone for driving and/or in store roles. money is rubbish, but that's life I'm afraid. Care work in comparison is very well paid, or can be, with hourly rates reaching 10 or 11GPB sometimes.

    I'd love to know where care jobs paying those rates are. If you get over minimum wage you're doing well.

    Yeah I assumed it was a troll but he has made a few posts so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. TBH I think he is just delusional.

    Maybe it varies from area to area. In Surrey/Hants I've seen jobs advertised at these rates. Admittedly some so pay minimum wage too, but a lot don't.

    Wow, I'm actually quite insulted by that comment! Maybe next time I won't post some ideas for you :)

    Either you're a troll, or you are bonkers.

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Ok I'll answer it.

    Frankly you need to take anything you can get. I wouldn't expect anything more than minimum wage and even then you'd be lucky. Given your circumstances if you were applying at my place you'd be pretty much last on the list of people I'd hire, except maybe someone with multiple convictions for fraud/theft. You've no work experience and your old, therefore someone will have to put effort into training you up only for you to retire in a few years.

    I agree with the other posters, care work sounds like the best bet.
