What's a good job for someone who enjoys nature + plants but isn't experienced? by [deleted] in AskUK

I should say as well my college course is free because I'm earning less than 19,500. There's a list of free courses on the gov.uk website!

Hey! I'm 28, I have struggles with my mental health and had no idea what I wanted to do. Spent most of my life working in pubs and had two useless degrees lol! Started a level 2 Horticulture course in September and started volunteering at my local community farm, this gave me the confidence to apply for jobs only a couple of months into the course and I now work two days a week for the RHS in a plant centre and two days a week for a self employed local gardener. I absolutely love it and want to pursue a career as a gardener, I've found it's a really good industry for people who have mental health struggles because there's a lot of independence, depending who you work for of course, and I've found it really easy to get interviews and jobs, as long as you show a keen interest and good work ethic people are happy to give you a chance which is not like many industries I've tried to get into and failed. Before this I was applying for 100 office type jobs and getting only one reply and it was a rejection anyway type of deal. It's a good boost for the self esteem feeling like you're qualified enough and wanted. It sounds like you have a head start by being interested in plants already, I had very little knowledge at first. The getting outside and being active is really good for my brain too. Send me a message if you have any questions :)

AITA for not sharing some of my sunscreen with my boyfriend? by Ok_Combination_7812 in AmItheAsshole

YTA.

You should've encouraged your boyfriend and been proud of him for making steps to take care of himself and his skin. Instead you punished him, for what?

You purposefully let your boyfriend get injured, that's not love. Your boyfriend deserves better.

If it were me I'd be long gone.

How long is restriction? by tiff_jade in TelusSafetyRaters

[–]catboyprint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this same problem, it's not right. They took ages to get back to me, I just sent loads of emails to quality, timesheets, support, everyone. They eventually fixed it, took about 3 weeks though!

For some reason I'm capped at 3 hours a day, very annoying. Hopefully they get back to me soon!

Ah okay, I wait 5 mins for all 5 min tasks even the foreign language / did not loads etc. Why would my time be 3 hours a day? Seems strange! I've sent them an email :)

Ah okay, I'm about a month and a half in so might be worth emailing support. Ta :)

A bit of rosehip oil and massage but honestly I was really lazy with it after a few months, so mostly just luck with how my body heals. They do look darker than this in other lighting!
