I am so desperate for bettering myself and my life for me and my child , I don't say I want to be millionaire but to earn more than just for bills and food would be great, I don't feel fulfilled living like this and doing jobs just to survive, I have changed so many jobs to and end up in the same situations, unhappy and low wage anyone can help me out pls ?😫😫😫

What about seeing if you could train to be a qualified bookkeeper. That’s not as highly qualified as being an accountant, but I pay a bookkeeper £35/hr. You might get a job doing that at an Accountancy firm, although the bookkeeper I use is self employed.

A friend is considering learning to alter clothes. I think you have to go self employed for that.

If you want to supplement your wages, dog walking, pet sitting?

Start looking at well paid jobs and see what level of qualifications they ask for.

OP just wanted to add to this that this isn't a normal wage for a bookkeeper. Bookkeeping services from an accountancy firm are about 25ph, and bookkeepers (even self employed ones) are more commonly around 18-20ph due to a lower skill level.
Bookkeeping is a good profession with reasonable wages and i dont want to put you off, but it's unlikely you'll earn 60k doing it.

Can't you apply for supervisor roles within your area of expertise? Extra qualifications are all well and good but not the be all and end all. The cheapest and easiest is to learn as much within your current work environment and look for opportunities to advance there up to managerial. Sometimes CPD courses come up that they will pay for.

Maybe approach others at work who are a higher grade to ask for advice.
