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

Probably best time to start your own thing with whatever skill you have that you think market will value and you can look for something part time on the sidelines

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?

A mate of mine spent decades working as a milkman, getting up at 4:00 every day for relatively little financial reward. Around five years ago, he successfully applied for a job as a tram driver with Metrolink and has never looked back (no pun intended). Not only does he feel like he's got his life back, he's well paid for it too.

So that’s why the trams only go at 5 mph. The drivers all trained on milk floats.

My new milkman delivers at about 10pm. Presumably he doesn’t get up at 4am.

There is a big skill shortage in terms of the age gap between the average IFA and those just starting.
