I'm fed up of working for others and want to work for myself.
Anyone any ideas what I can do?
I don't want to set up a shop or coffee shop, etc.
I have got about 60k I could use if needed to set something up or use while I retrained in something.
I fancy learning how to make something or provide some sort of specialist service. I'd like to clear ideally 1.5k a month but could manage with 1k.
Jobs I've done in the past inc pony trekking leader, cleaner, sales assistant, admin work, clearing blocked sewers and midwife.
I don't really have any talents I can think of. Can't sew, not a brilliant cook. Anyway I want something which pays a better than the "mum does cupcakes" career.
Stuff I've thought of but many of which would probably be unpractical include,
Horse dentist (seems nearly impossible to get trained)
Dog walker (wouldn't earn enough)
Chimney sweep (not sure enough need but fairly cheap training and set up costs)
Tree surgeon (I'm nearly 40 and think I'm too old and not strong enough)
Don't really fancy plumbing or electrician. And don't fancy going back to clearing blocked sewers although buying a jetter and set of rods and doing that would be fairly easy and good money. Just had enough of been covered in shit.
