    Service sector, sorry I just don't want to say what job on a public forum.

    Trust me when I say it was unskilled.

    I understand I'm not the best to work with but surely there must be something I can train to do, that would get me out of the min wage trap.

    What about some sort of driving job? Do some research and go for something with plenty of opportunities. Not sure how it is now but HGV drivers (for example) used to be heavily in demand and that pays fairly well, --not £35,000 but more than minimum wage.

    You could possibly return to taxi driving to fund and fit around any training needed?

    You must have some skills, everyone has some so try to work out what they are. You've already said you can drive and that is a skill, make driving skill number one and add to the list.

    Alternatively, there are numerous free online tests that claim to help you choose the right career for your personality, interests, etc.
