Alhamdulillah!
My problem is this: I live in a town which has suffered heavily during the recession, and as a result new jobs in my town are pretty difficult to come by and highly competitive.
The problem I have with this is that many of the jobs that are open to me I would feel uncomfortable doing as I hold them to be morally objectionable. For example, recently two betting shops were advertising for cashiers. I would feel totally unable to do this job as I find gambling to be a moral wrong (haraam) and I would be particularly unhappy in making a wage from assisting others to do haraam acts.
I'm currently working with a work programme and they've been close to semi-useless in understanding this objection I have towards certain types of work and why I feel this way.
What do I do?
