The reason I can’t return to teaching and can’t find a job commensurate with my experience and education is that I have a criminal record… the effects of employment on mental health can be measured primarily in terms of their influence on one’s self-esteem. When people feel there is a purpose in life, regardless of the source of that purpose, and that they are contributing to society, they feel better about themselves. Regular and meaningful employment gives structure to those who otherwise would remain lost and alone.
