I'm not a bad person...
I'm from Northern Ireland, and my best bet for a joob has been in England. Where I am from has had its infrastructure torn apart by the Queen. She took away our trains over 50 years ago and promised a motorway which never happened. I live in a very isolated area with very little investment. Nothing worse than an ol' lady telling you about back in her day how quick the transport used to be....
This is my true face
I am a reflection of that which I see in society. After getting a biochemistry degree in Liverpool, I stayed for many years trying to get a joob. I went through many joobs, all the while working on political activism and side projects to improve things. I tried so many things. I even ran for mayor at one point but had my house conveniently taken away, preventing me from running. I had always felt that within five years I would be dead or in prison; it's just how things seem to work there. Sure I committed lots of crime to survive, but what else is a man to do? Beg on the streets? Accept homelessness?
I ran away to Pakistan for six months and tried to permanently move there. I had friends and connections. Unfortunately my visa expired and I would have to return, but it was when I was in Pakistan I discovered Steemit
Some old Steem articles of mine;Sex Tourism in Pakistan.
Osama Bin Laden's House
It was amazing to finally have something I could put time into and get results.
Steem gave me the knowledge and power to invest in cryptocurrencies, and make wealth for myself which I could invest into projects and myself.
Unfortunately though I got arrested under terror laws in Liverpool...
"It happened two weeks before putting on this show. PTSD CULT night
I was told the police had found thermite in my room. They were trying to throw me under the bus and have me sent to prison. As I waited for court to happen I committed as many crimes as possible, just in case I was found guilty (might as well do some criminal wrongdoings if you are getting sent to the slammer? Am I right?). Although thanks to my secret crypto wealth I maintained my cool and didn't explode in the terrorism I was being accused of.
Developed a drug which cured my IBS
Invested in video, audio, and sound equipment

Anyway I love Steem because it gave me opportunites which did not exist in the fiat world. And it has given me hope of a better future for everyone.
Oh, and I forgot to mention all that crypto wealth I made. That's been GGRRRRRREEEAT!
Thank you Steem!
