0:00On March 23, a 21-year-old man from Southampton dreams of becoming a binman but feels crushed after his local council rejected him twice. The job. Brian Rowe completed a nine-month unpaid internship as a waste loader, working alongside the team without any issues. He lives with myotonic dystrophy, a muscle-weekening condition, plus ADHD, yet stayed enthusiastic and punctual throughout his placement. Several staff even encouraged him to apply for open positions they came up right after. His mother, Claire, shared that Brian has wanted this role since he was two years old. She's heartbroken too, questioning how anyone gains experience if free work like his doesn't lead to a chance, and she filed a formal complaint. The council responded that their hiring is under review to stay inclusive. Brian finished his internship last June and has since applied to other local authorities and private firms. But no luck so far. While Brian battles disappointment and doubts his worth, his family urges him to keep
1:00trying before his condition worsens, helping one door open soon.
