If you earn £20-£25K (Outside of London)

[SherlocksHat]

If you earn around that amount, for FT work, can I ask what you do? I currently earn £21k pro rata, as I'm part time. I have 'A' levels but no degree. Extensive admin experience, some management experience.

I'm thinking about a complete job change. I'm 49. I love helping people and would say I have a very caring, sympathetic nature, but don't want to do caring/nursing. For info, I'm a single parent with a disabled adult daughter.

Any ideas appreciated.
