To beg for some careers advice?

From you, mostly lovely Mumsnet contributors.

My DH is having a sort of career crisis. I am somewhat burnt out by everything I deal with myself and I'm drawing a blank.

He's mid thirties, a forces veteran and his career there was in weapons, so not really a transferable civilian skill. He's got all his HGV licenses and currently works driving those and is miserable doing so and also in increasing pain due to a knee issue. He says that life is surely too short to be stuck doing something you hate and he feels he needs to find "the thing" he's meant to do. He just doesn't know what that is and is starting to think there's nothing at all that fits him.

He's got dyslexia and ADHD but is actually very clever and excellent at solving problems. He's good at helping children, shy people, great with animals. His social skills are.....developing, I'd say. He's very friendly, very engaging, but also has a tendency to become over familiar, which naturally, some people are not keen on. He struggles with academic studying but is good at hands on training.

Can you think of ANYTHING?

Environmental/engineering technician or assistant environmental driller.

Crying out for a good people - the HGV license will help with operating machinery. Outdoors focused but not people based.
