Honestly … is it silly to retrain at fifty three?

It probably is.

At fifty three, I’ll have an eleven year old and a nearly fourteen year old. They’ll both be at senior school.

So by the time I qualify I’d be fifty five …

And I’d be starting at the bottom.

Daft.

I’m similar age to you and am starting out on a new career, although not retraining I’ve taken a pay cut.
sorry didn’t realise this was an old thread.
well done 👏

That's so brilliant Keith. I work sort of alongside to this sector. Not easy, but interesting with some great colleagues and they are desperate for good people to help.
