My qualfication

Van Gogh's bedroom; no way to be living in a city of 8 million people like London. I lived in a place like this when I taught in London, I didn't mind but I never earned enough to look after a family.

^{I'm a 52 year old British man who quite enjoyed teaching some years ago and this website has been something to pass the time. I've had it for more than ten years now and although I'm not really looking for anything at the moment there were literally years where I was trying my best to improve my situation without any success. I would also like to add something here that is that life is special and important even when things aren't working out as planned and I have been blessed with a supportive family through all of my ups and downs and I'm thankful for that as I am also thankful for the benefits I've recieved while I've had health problems and the treatment I've had from the NHS.

^{My level 4 and 5 qualifications}

I passed an HND and a BSc (undergraduate) and a PG Dip and a PGCE (postgraduate)

How do people afford to live in London and increasingly around the world? How do they make enough money? Is it fair that you can get qualified in the top 5% of the population and get a commensurate job but only afford a flat share or studio flat in a city of 8 million people?

^{Where did I go wrong? :)}

I first took an IQ test when I was studying in the 90s, I was pleasantly surprised with the result, percentile 1 is what it said back then. It hasn't gained me anything though, no one has been remotely interested, it has always remained difficult to work out stuff like making a living. I took what I think were some really good free iq tests over the last eight days just for fun.
