    Do you have ANY experience at all besides England? It doesn't look good at all if you are job hopping this early in your career. With your limited experience you're not going to have many options that are going to be different than England.

    T.j you are going to get robbed anywhere you go in your first year if you are new have no inside connects or whatever. Its just part of the industry my friend its a highway to hell the first 6months then it gradually gets better we all have to go through it but I promise it gets better just hang in there be safe never rush no matter what and my advice as a still new driver get 10 months to a year and get away from england!

    At your experience level your options are either bottom feeder A or bottom feeder B. Job hopping this early in your career is the last thing you want to do.

    250 a week is plenty more than what most people make. If you can't survive on 1800 a month, you need to make some adjustments. Live within your means.
