Career Ideas/training
9 Answers
I know that this is probably in the wrong category but I want peoples opinions from a non professional/not so serious side.
As some may know that I recently seperated from my wife, not too relevant but it will make things easier to explain and understand.
I've always been a people person and have nearly all it not all experience around bar/restaurant's (except for chef/kitchen work). I'm changing careers because of what has happened in my life recently and I've just passed the CSCS (Health, Safetly and Environment examination).
Has anyone got any ideas of a new career and if so what training is available and prospects?
Thanks,

It's not for everyone, but just a thought. My daughter who has hidden disabilities has just been accepted into a fantastic special school, and it is humbling when I see how some of the young people get on against the odds. They are truly inspirational, and it has changed my whole concept, so much it's been playing on my mind about a career change myself in the future. I can imagine it to be a very challenging but satisfactory job. I got talking with one of the tutors there and he packed in his own plumbing business to work with them and has never looked back. Probably not at all what you were thinking, but you did ask for ideas!
Forklift / counterbalance qualifications are very handy to have for all sorts of jobs.
You say you are a 'people' person, have you ever thought about a job in the caring side of things, with the elderly, or disabled, such as in a nursing home, Day centre, or even as a Home carer,it can be very rewarding. X

My mum used to be a book keeper and accountant. She was also and still is a Magistrate (loss of earnings (works for bugger all!)).
She god fed up with work and decided to become an appropriate adult which she enjoyed but the working hours are hidious. She is now working for a very well known (I won't name them for certain reasons) company working with disabled people (not kids). She has been about a year and she has to work her fingers to the bone for pittance but, and I mean a big BUT she loves the job. She has never been so happy to turn up to work and had someone throw a pair of stained underpants at her face while she's trying to each her dinner.
When she first started there she had to take a tub of VIC with her to work, now she doesn't even bother with that. One thing to remember is, if someone is going to vomit on you, make sure you turn and let them do it on your back... that way you can still eat your dinner!
