    if you enjoy the construction industry have you ever thought of going in to planning or building control? you may find work in a council and they will pay for you degree or pay for you to become a qualified Building control officer...

    both of these areas have staff shortages nationwide (check on google)

    Printing not good pay? Are you a press operator or do you just help out (loading the paper, trimming etc)? Ive just finished a BTEC in printing and the guys on my course have all gone into well paid jobs. One has become a press operator after 12 months of being the skivvy and is on 16k plus already, this will continue to grow. Its an industry with not enough workers and so pays well. Well thats what Ive found anyway...

    Ignoring that, and if you really want to move jobs then think about what kind of things you enjoy and see if you can get a career out of that. Is there anything youve done that you really enjoyed?

    The printing i do is more reprographics like printing plans for building copying folders.

    I Am interested in computer but been told this not good job as everyone who leaves school goes into computers.

    One job i did have I loved was working for film companies but it really hard to get into as most companies employ u on contract to the end of filming then you got get a new job.

    So was thinking about bricking laying as I thought people will alway need house.

    Outside of work what do you like doing?

    Do you like working with the public?

    Do you want variety or routine?

    Do you want set hours (eg 9-5) or flexible hours?

    Do you want to work indoors or outdoors?

    To be honest I am not that fussy Just want job that I can do anywhere in the world that pay pretty good. I don't mind going to collage or uni to get a skill to do a job I just really want a job with good pay and bit security so I will alway have a job that way I can work towards my other goals in life ( house, Family,Business so on).

    I don't mind working with the public.

    I Prefer if every day was bit different but if the money was good then a routine is fine.

    I don't mind what hours I work.

    I don't mind if I am inside out outside

    To be honest I just fed up getting jobs where I go in learn everything there is to know cant get promoted don't get any pay rise have no benefits. I want move on in life and fill at the moment I cant.
