Excellent stuff, good move. Hope it all works out. You started work at 16? Blimey, you deserve a rest.
Yep, the plan was a summer job between school and college. But due to the flexible way it worked, it was ideal for getting me through college.
Finished college........ decided engineering wasn't for me.
Did a few other courses (better to do something/anything, while figuring out what I
want to do), and the job allowed the freedom to work around them.
Then I had an ex living in London for 4 years, so again, the flexibility was ideal. Cram in some shifts, then drag myself to London or wherever we wanted to go knowing I could come and go as I pleased and still have a job there.
Circumstances changed, and cliche as it sounds, I'm now looking to do something MOre "rewarding". Still not 100% sure what I
want to do, but feel like I should at least be doing something positive in the meantime.
Not having a driving license seems to be an instant hurdle with consevation/forestry type work. So...... I had an interview with a care home yesterday, and have a few others lined up. So, care work while I do this course and work on a driving license, then I hope to get into something like tree surgery.
I'd considered throwing myself into care work long term, but ideally I'd like to end up self employed, which I can't see happening in care. Forestry/conservation is MOre appealing in general, and would also be a possible way to eventually set up on my own.
The only realy problem I can see, is in picking a good name! :lol:
Dr MO's Tree Surgery?
the first cut is the deepest....
