By commuting an hour to 90 minutes away, and self training gaining qualifications and experience, I've increased my salary by 5 times what it was 10 years ago, and now only 10 minutes from home.
Now I could have sat on my bum and not pushed myself to better jobs, moaned about having a low wage and a dead end job.
Instead I didn't, I looked at my lot, made improvements where needed and reaped the rewards.
Same with my mum who came out of school with 'o' level needlecraft.
She used to do cleaning for IBM and a bit of typing.
Re-trained and now she's doing office work on £20K
