    ..Been a joiner since leaving school(am 40 now).App trained bench joiner for about 10 yrs, last 10 yrs doing upvc windows,doors,conservatories and soffits & fascias.Between that done other things including car sales(fancied a change),at dixons btw but it wasn't my fault lol.Anyway a re-acurring back problem is making worklife a bit uncomtable.Have been thinking for a while now to use what i've learned in the past 24 yrs to re-train for a job where it will be less phyical.Any serious ideas would be appreciated,thou i do have a sence of humour so piss takers are more than welcome.Thanks.

    Go back to school and get some more qualifications (if you don't already have them) and then teach what you know about in a technical college.

    Ar lass had a career change

    At 37 she trained to be a teacher - she's never looked back. Good luck with whatever you decide - life's too short
