I have the funds to retrain but no idea as what!!! Suggestions for someone who is very average academically.

I was thinking about AAT training so joined the Facebook group but having watched for months I can see there is no way I’m academically gifted enough to be a book keeper/accountant. I could potentially push myself but I can tell it’s just too dry for me.

In terms of my strengths they are definitely in the realms of practical/creative. I’m not stupid, just maybe the high end of average. I’m mid forties. Would LOVE to get my teeth into some training now to launch a new career.

Paramedic
Vet nurse
Dental hygienist

No particular idea why, but they came to mind!

Are you good at art? What about art therapy? I'm not sure what qualifications you need exactly but I've worked with people with learning disabilities my whole career and it's very rewarding Smile could also be useful in mental health settings too
