I'm going through a bit of a transitional state in my life at the moment and i'm trying to get myself on the right track with life and so on. Basically the thing that's doing my head in right now is my job, I do have a job that I kind of enjoy, but i'm doing it more to keep the money rolling in and the bills paid. I don't really see a future in it though, I don't like it "that" much!

The thing is, career wise, i've kinda shot myself in the foot, i'm 27 and aside from 7 GCSE's, i don't have any qualifications or training.

My biggest problem is that I still don't know what i want to do as a career, i'm too old to qualify for apprenticeships or anything like that and I can't quit my job to do any kind of training as I have bills to pay all the time.

Ideally speaking, I need something that provides on the job training, something with potential to advance, nothing office/admin based though, would prefer something technical where I need to use my brain and would constantly need to be learning new things. Also, to survive, i'd need to earn about £6 an hour, my current wage...at a push I could live off minimum wage.

So...i leave it open to you guys, I really would consider most things that might grab my attention...any suggestions?

You need to work on what you enjoy outside of work and factor work into these interests.

That would be the ideal way to go about it agreed....however my limiting factor is that I need on the job training which isn't that readily available once you pass 21/24 from what i've seen.

For example, I was checking out the BT site, read loads about BT engineering and the training they have in place, everything I read pointed to it being something i'd like to do...got to the important application part and they will only train you on apprenticeship if you're 21 or under.
