training or something

I currently work as a landscape gardener, but was thinking maybe I should retrain/go to evening classes or something to start a new path. Not sure doing what and I'm not sure If I would gain anything good enough to get a job from?

I'm 30

What do you fancy doing? You are obviously good at working with your hands?

Why not extend your existing skills and study something like forestry or building?

I was probably thing of going back in to I.t. if possible. I did a web page nvq when I left school, but it was a 6 month coarse to nvq level 3 and everyone said I didn't have enough experience. So I went and did other things

This. My brother in law used to do gardening door to door for a few quid here and there, I thought he was bonkers. Now he has a firm that has big landscaping and sport field contracts. I was very wrong

The grass isn't always greener - excuse the phrase what with you being a landscape gardener and all!

This really does make sense to me:
