Is it cold in here?:
Nice artistic touch to have Marten asking the question on our behalf.
TieDyeKat:
Good Guy Marten.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Is there any other kind of Marten?

She has no INCOME, that doesn't mean she has no savings. If she's been smart, she should have 2-3 months rent socked away. She should be able to find a job in that time. If she's smart she will go to that gallery and see if she can get any commissions.

Also, unless you're assuming that both Faye's mom is fine with supporting her financially and that Faye is okay with being supported financially by someone else (and wants to), there's no more reason for her to be in Georgia than here. The only people she was interested in visiting or talking to or has even mentioned since then (other than, in passing, exes and whatnot) are her mom and sister. In Northhampton, there's Marten and the rest of the gang, even if the others are admittedly less close with her, and her friendship with Dora may be salvaged.
She can go back to Georgia and it wouldn't be too weird of her, but it's not really got any more going for it than where she is now.

--- End quote ---
She'd need to be certified. Maybe join a union too. If she needs money NOW, it'll be a better bet to do what she's already been doing. She could probably even guilt Dora into giving a recommendation.
Also, welding while drunk is a lot more dangerous than barista-ing while drunk.
Anyway, the point is she has options for income. She's not disabled.

In Canada and I assume other places possibly including Northhampton, you can weld without certs. You just can't do any structural welding (which may be based on your workplace and insurance rather than law, I'm not sure).
(also, she might have gotten some bare minimum certification when she learned to weld anyway)
Edit- although I originally was just making that comment in passing, that actually could be a good fit for Faye. Still not a career she'll be tied down by (something most of the forum agrees she doesn't want or at least doesn't care about preceding/during her breakup with Angus), and as Dr Corrine wanted, most welding shops she'd be getting exercise, and without having to think about it much or be bored or anything as she may at the gym. As well as being a different outlet for stress, she'd be able to work out her physical anger stuff (eg the used-to-be-normal punching) in a productive way.
Oilman:
Faye is short of options right now and needs to make a move of some sort. Actually I'd say she is quite tough-minded and a challenge might be good for her.
Depends what sort of welding you are aiming to do. Welding exhaust boxes, panel repairs in a body shop, no problem. Usually just a test piece. Art, no issues. Didn't Dora already get her one commission she never fulfilled?
Most Oilpatch welders arrive as general hands, usually working with the motorman; start doing non-critical stuff like water pump pick-ups (there is aLOT of that kind if thing), start hassling for a chance to do a Trial Piece
Don't know how the union thing would work, she would need to be employed, because insurance of various sorts.
