in Chit-Chat
Im considering a change of profession, by trade im a chef although im currently unemployed, ive worked with livestock/horses/exotics im afraid of heights but im trying to overcome this, im a poor swimmer so even though im taking lessons anything to do with the sea is unlikely to be practical
Ive 3 areas im particularly interested in: emergency services, the leasure industry or some kind of security work

Anyone have any ideas for a 27yr old, I know I would fail most fitness tests at moment but im working hard to change that

    some kind of security work

    This is probably the easiest of those to get in to. You don't need to have any particular level of fitness or aptitude to get into security. In most cases you just do a short training course, and an induction, which you may or may not have to do unpaid.

    I have no idea what the wages for that are like in wherever it is you live.

    Im not thinking security guard... That would bore me to tears, something more physical along the lines of customs or bouncer etc but not police

    Take an EMT course at your local community college. The physical requirements are being able to lift 50 lbs or something along those lines. It is fascinating and the work would be so rewarding.

    What about training to be a paramedic? Or a nurse?

    What qualifications do you already have?

    Paramedic is a possibility as im cool under pressure and ive a strong stomach due to dealing with injured livestock.
    I dont have the temperament for a nurse tbh.

    I actually don't want to do anything anymore.
