Looking For Paid Work

I hope you don't mind.  I never thought I will attend University in my life.  I did for 6 years, part - time.  It wasn't easy for me.  It was very difficult.  I learned team work - the essence.  It proved a success.  My learning.  I am looking for paid work.  When you read my CV, what type of jobs and jobs offers can you offer me?  Thank you.
