How many jobs have you had and how many have you been fired from? I've had a total of 42 jobs and have been fired from ten!

This doesn't help your self-esteem any.

I've only had 3 jobs & was sort of fired from one but not sure it counts as being fired exactly. I was out too long because of medical reasons & let go due to company policy. I have a lot of physical disabilities I was born with & one of the meds I was taking for a tremor disorder made me sick & I felt like I was having a stroke or something. The docs ran test but couldn't really figure out what was going on. I had problems doing certain aspects of the job due to the tremors. The company said they would take me back if I reapplied but my doc wouldn't listen to me & kept trying meds that had bad side-effects so I sort of gave up trying to treat it & didn't see the point in reapplying. I only have about 38 months of work experience total & I'm 35 years old. All my reviews were really good but I have an extremely hard time finding & getting hired for a job that's rite for me. I gave up looking about 6 years ago when I got my current girlfriend because I planned to relocate to be with her & I haven't started looking after I moved over 5 years ago. She's disabled too & kind of likes & needs me around a lot. She's sort of looking into if I can get paid to be her live-in-aid. I am classified as her caretaker so my income won't mess with her benefits & she really does have problems living alone. I'm on Social Security Disability but it's not much more than what SSI is & I don't have any other benefits other than my Medicare & state Medicaid. i could really use some extra money.
