If you had some free time and money for re-training...

[FuckertyBoo]

...what would you do?

Not so much an aibu as a wwyd, but if you would like me to shoehorn in an aibu; aibu to ask the above ?

Hard to choose - there’s so many things I’d love to do!

First choice would be an MA in creative writing, obviously followed up by becoming a bestselling author

I’m really hopeless at cooking and would love to have more culinary know how, so a cookery course would be great. I’d do this alongside some gardening/horticultural training so I could grow much of my own food.

I would love to be an interpreter. Unfortunately I'm monolingual, but if I had time I'd learn 5 languages and be an international woman of mystery.

I'd train as a vet if I had the money and if I was younger.

If I was in good health (I'm not) and had the cash and time, I'd train to be a Display Artist.

It was the only career I wanted when I was at school, but there were no local colleges which offered the course so it was a non-starter, sadly.

I’m in retail management and hate it, I’m currently retraining to be an accountant.

pineapple Have you already got a degree?

@MerryInthechelseahotel me? Yes in English Literature

I'm 40 and I'm doing interviews at the moment to go back and retrain as a Speech and Language Therapist. I figure I've still got half my working life ahead of me so fuck it I'm going to go for it. I'm in teaching at the moment but have a daughter with speech and communication problems that started the fascination with it all off and it's just spiralled as I've seen the implications and challenges it's brought her growing up.

(Fingers crossed for the interviews - did one a couple of weeks ago, have another in a couple of weeks).

All the money and free time in the world, I would love to study vetrinary medicine.

If only I had the time and money I would love to retrain as an architect. Really interested in designing SEN schools at the moment. Guess I will have to stick with The Sims!

I'd like to go into mental health/learning disability nursing (I know the latter isn't a popular one) one day

HexagonalBattenburg Good Luck!

Actually I trained as an accountant and it's turned out to be perfect! The one job I'm useful at in my husbands company that means I can work flexible part time hours whilst being carer for our child. I would choose the same again

I would absolutely love to be a midwife.

Currently a nurse but would actually love to be a florist strangely.

I don't have a degree though so I've done a module towards it and am waiting for the go ahead for my next module. Ill always be a nurse though, I like the huge variety of specialities that are available.

Theraputic horticulture and work in forest schools or rehab centre

ExtraPineappleExtraHam my dd has looked into this and it seems good. It's a two year masters degree and you are paid throughout.

I want to set up my own business supporting teens through life choices and crisis

or I'd set up an NCT for parents of teenagers

Not training as such but I'd love to do an American studies degree. I reckon when I retire I will do it, as I'll never have to pay the course fees back!
