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

The op isn't going to learn a trade in weeks. How about a job that pays well but takes zero brains or training like a police officer.

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?

Why were you warned against plumbing?

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 .

Is that still good advice? All I hear from Australians nowadays is how insane the house prices are and how there are hundreds of applicants for every rental place. I'm not sure it's still the deal it was in the 90s and 00s. Unless you're happy to live outside those major centres.

Just like the US, if you go with the opinion that you’re special and owed a living, you’re fucked. If you go thinking that you’re willing to work your ass off, you’ll do great
