I have always been a naturally light hearted and joyful person. I love life, adventure and I have a good spiritual foundation.

But 4 years ago I had my heart broken. I went through a period of grief, followed by a depression. My work suffered. I was in grad school studying a subject I loved with a prestigious scholarship, but after the breakup I couldn’t focus anymore. Even after I got over the heart break the stress of not being able to make the deadline for my thesis enabled the depression to continue until it became a chronic condition.

I made the decision to leave grad school, as it was unhealthy for me to continue to be in that kind of environment. I gave up my career and my livelihood. I am happy I did it, because the healing began immediately after wards…I traveled, I fell in love again…I began to think about new creative projects and different kinds of work I might do in order to make a new life for myself. Now, I feel great and I am finally at the point where I can look back on everything that happend and marvel at how much I have learned about what is to be human–I have so much compassion and faith.

BUT!! I am now 30 years old, bright and well educated, but without the degree I worked so hard for, without any professional training, no letters of reference, and I am totally broke with a large student loan.

I need to try to build a career –but I am so far behind, and my resume has so many gaps. I know I am smart and enthusiastic and I have many skills—but I don’t look good on paper–certainly not on a resume—(ie unfinished projects, and years without any employment outside of a university setting)

How should I address this when applying for jobs? What kind of options do I have? How can I move on from the rubble of a life upset and rebuild again?

never is late for learn you are in a god edge, to get a career you never know when you will to need a diploma, so you have enthusiasm, and wishes to have a better education, just do it YES YOU CAN, you can try first with two jobs save money, for 8 months and try to back to scool

I have a very high paying job (~$200k/year) and consider myself very fortunate. However, the job is stressful and I pretty much have to be available by phone at all hours of the day. Lots of big projects, lots of fires to put out, and people’s livelihood at stake with almost everything I work on. I also work with multiple time zones (Europe, China, Japan, All US Timezones) and it involves a lot of travel.

I get to spend about 1 week with my family per month.

Do people think a job like this is worth it? My salary will be increasing significantly over the coming years (nearly doubling) and I have excellent job security, but I wonder if this is worth it. Would you stay in a career like this?

I’m in my late twenties so it’s not like I’m near retirement. I’ll be at this for a while…

It’s probably worth it for a while. Make sure you do this some years, get a lot of money and retire when you’re 30. You’ll have money enough to lead a normal life.

Below i have my uni personal statement.. if any one could help proof read it for me and make any suggestions i would be most grateful thanks…

Why do I want to go on to higher education? Well, ever since I started secondary school at the age of eleven I have always wanted to pursue towards further education at university. Originally I wanted to become a Primary school teacher but since taking part in a lot of work experience in that field, my mind was suddenly made up that that this in fact was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I since have gained a great interest in the marketing industry, and I have come to notice that there are mass opportunities in the market, which has yet to be exploited, and I in the future want to do exactly that. I believe it would challenge my more creative side as well as testing my theoretical skills. I’m particularly interested in the more creative advertising side of marketing and the psychology behind it.
I’m very business minded and I have many ideas, which I can expand on in the future. But before I do so I want to be more knowledgeable about the marketing industry, because if I do go into this field of work then I want to know what type of characteristics I need to build on in order to be successful in whatever I do in the future.
My auntie is also part owner of a family business, so I have experienced business throughout my life and I believe this has contributed to my passion towards this subject. I have just recently undergone two weeks work experience at my aunties business. Here I helped to create leaflets and posters in order to reach out to the local and wider community. I found this thoroughly interesting and I now want to gain a much deeper insight into the marketing sector in order to pursue a career in the industry in the future.
In October I returned from a 2 ½ month voluntary project in Kenya run by a government scheme called platform2. The aim of the trip is to provide 18-25 year olds the opportunity to visit a developing country and get involved with global issues of justice and poverty. Whilst in Kenya I lived with a local family for the ten week duration and worked on an ongoing conservation project in order to help conserve the eco system by improving the livelihoods or communities adjacent to the forest through an environmentally sustainable income. This experience has undoubtedly broadened my perspective of the world. It has been portrayed to me that out in Kenya everyone was trying to help one another get by, they were all in the same boat. Here, most people are trying to just get in their own boat and sail their own course. Over there they know that if they don’t build a boat together, they sink. Volunteering in Kenya in an underprivileged community has undoubtedly developed my life skills and fostered the creativity within me. It has nurtured my ability to be flexible in changing conditions, and adapt and adjust to new environments and cultures. Platform2- ‘Some People wait for change to happen, other people volunteer’
All my experiences have made me keen to broaden my knowledge and given the chance I will do so with full dedication, determination and continuous persistence as I am a motivated, sophisticated and charismatic individual who believes you only get one chance to make a first impression and my recognition would be by accomplishing my objective which is to obtain a degree in the marketing field and make myself realise that I have worked towards my potential which thus will be the basis of my success in the future.

Please let me know if this works for you. I removed a bit of unneeded phrasing. You’ve made your points clearly, and I wish you success!

1. materials are abaca fibers, plastics, metal wires (G.I.), fabrics
2. should be fast-drying and ‘invisible’
3. very cost-effective (for rural livelihood projects)
4. readily available in local stores and hardwares

we have tried melted glue sticks yet the results werent as good as the adhesion quality of acrylic liquid bonds, kaya lang mashadong mahal. Any suggestions please..thanks.

If acrylic based adhesive works, there are ways of bringing down the cost. Buy it in bulk from the manufacturer and you reduce cost by as much as 50% vs. retail if you haggle and bring your own container.

Another option is to make you glue from an acrylate resin and a solvent (TCE) presto you have an adhesive. For safety, only experienced person with chemistry knowledge should try making adhesives.
