About to lose my job, looking to start a new career, any advice please...

[KDB Fan]

Apologies for the negativity but I'm currently working a dead-end office job on below average pay and about to be made redundant unfortunately but I have a mortgage to pay off and all the usual financial liabilities so would like to retrain doing something as soon as possible so I don't lose my home and ideally something that gets me out of the office.

I don't enjoy working on a computer but would love to do a trade or job that gets me out the office/house and doing something else I suppose. Does anybody have any good suggestions for jobs that fit the bill? I was thinking of going into plumbing but have been warned against it...I'm 29 btw if that's any help living in Manchester?

Huge shortage of bricklayers, well paid trade if you can master it. Salford tech used to run courses. No pun intended.

Sell up and fuck off to OZ/Nz if you ain't got kids. It's the advise I give my daughter every week and she's only 13 .

Train Driver?
Firefighter?

The closer to home the better therefore costs are minimal.

Sparky or come over here and I’ll give you a job bending nails

Mate of mine got a job recently at Northern Rail as a ticket inspector. He's on £34k a year. Works 9 days straight then 5 days off.

Lucky bastard.

Firefighter is a helluva process over there, I got into Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire, decided to leave the country instead.

It's one of the more 'fussier' countries though, and he may not get in without a trade or family living there.

Dry Stone Walling ..... bit of training and go and work out in the countryside!

I think the training course is around £230 quid though.

You could always move to Liverpool and repair church roofs at night.

I did a few years over there when I was younger. If your willing to do manual work it's no problem. Student work visa I think it's called. Picking fruit and shagging birds.

Great idea, get everyone to fuck off down under, and when global warming fucks them up, don't let them back in.
