getting work without a car or license?
I made a post on here yesterday about how I've been trying to find retail/warehouse jobs as a stop gap between now and getting a position in my graduate field. Someone in the comments suggested that it's going to be really hard to get hired for those roles in the north west without a drivers license, and they're right the public transport around here is god awful.
Issue being is I can't afford even lessons, let alone a car and insurance. So im not sure how I'm supposed to overcome this roadbloack without more income. (i do have a part time gig doing remote work for a small business but thats two days work a week and not enough income on its own to cover driving expenses)
I am still actively and consistently applying for jobs in my field so its entirely possible that I land a full time role at any time, I just have learning to drive as a pretty high priority goal and I want to make sure im not falling behind since im 22 and all my friends have cars already
