You’re not always allowed to hire assistance. People here on certain types of visas, especially students, may have very limited options on who can pay them to work. They usually know but might not or might not fully understand the rules.

Wouldn't that be a restriction on working as an assistant rather than hiring one?

nothing about "you're allowed to hire assistance" implies you're allowed to hire foreigners who aren't legally allowed to work in your country.

Hire a fellow citizen, help a neighbor out.

Hiring a physiotherapist is one that drives me mad. I have relatives and friends in real pain and they refuse to spend the £100 to £200 for a couple of sessions of physio to fix the problem. They can all afford it but they doggedly stick to mild pain killers and “it will sort itself out” eventually it may but what a waste of energy for months and years.

You’re not always allowed to eat cake because some of the cakes in the houses down the street belong to other people.

You are always allowed to hire assistance. There are rules about who you can hire.

I'm probably a weirdo, but the "write in books" is a massive no no for me. I can't imagine writing in a book (unless it's a total turd, but I assume we're talking about good, insightful books).

I do take notes, but always on separate sheets that I keep in the book. Just no way I'll write on the book itself.
