I've broken down, mentally and physically, after flogging myself in an NHS job I was unsuited for.

I'm currently off sick with joint and back issues and am waiting for an OH report on whether I could be redeployed.

I have no recent further or any higher qualifications and have been toying with thoughts of an access course.

Has anyone retrained at a late stage?

What did you study?

How does the modern education system work?

Tuition fees are frightening and I have no idea what I want to study, how to go about choosing or where to go for unbiased information.

I'm in England, btw.

Didn't get the job I Zoomed for on Thursday and I'm psyching myself up for the phonecall to Payroll about sick pay.

I'm worried about how I'll manage now.
