Well I find myself unemployed and struggling to find a job again and i'm starting to get fed up with working c**p jobs for c**p money so I have been thinking about re-training but i'm struggling with what to do.
I would like a skill/training/trade which provides an income of around £25k, more would be a plus! The way the uk is going you'll have to work till you die by the time I get to retirement so I need to take that in to account and if it was self-employed/your own business that would be a bonus.
I'm in my late 30's, 1 x A and 3 x C's at GCSE then did a BTEC national diploma in business and finance. I had a few white collar jobs after that but ended up doing blue collar work and being a welder for 10 years which I had to give up on health grounds. I'm reasonably intelligent and a logical thinker, english is ok but not great and I don't mind hard work or travelling if the job involves it.
There is a good mix of people on here so I was just wondering what you would recommend and if the career you have chosen would meet the above criteria and what training was involved? Thank you in advance for any advice.
qualification coming out of his ears, now runs a priniting franchise, found the first year hard but now making a living out of it.
