The Antisocial Socialist

I have a good degree from Cambridge University and two master's degrees but have never had a job. I am weird, though. I grew up in socialist-anarchist hippie world in squats and housing co ops and jobs/careers were certainly never anything any decent person was allowed to aspire to. They were bourgeois things that baddies did. Everyone we knew was either on benefits or a special needs teacher. I didn't expect to live beyond my degree anyway - had planned to kill myself afterwards - so never planned ahead that far. And back then it was assumed that if you went to Oxbridge you walked into a top diplomatic or government position anyway, so school teachers didn't bother with career advice apart from a series of monthly talks from people like Winston Churchill's granddaughter, Lady Soames, about how her grandad liked painting watercolours, and sometimes a female barrister would give a boring talk about how women could be barristers if they went to Oxbridge.
