Without going into to much detail, I had a life changing medical situation occur when I was 27. I was born with the condition that caused it but it didn't become symptomatic until that time.
From 27 to 42, I had about 30 jobs, 2 of which were long term 4 years and 2 years. I went to a technical school hoping I would be able to freelancer but even that didn't work out.
I was forced to go on permanent disability because it was difficult to find a job and when I could find work, the medical condition would flair up and out the door would be I. I would trade my current situation to shovel ***** against the tide with a teaspoon for a dollar a day.
