If you were to lose your job - would you re-train and if so, what in?

[mr_busdriver 10]

If you were to lose your job, would you try to find a job in the role that you lost, or would you retrain? if you were to retrain, what would you do to upskill yourself, in order to gain employment in the future?

[Jason Bourne 11]

If I was in that situation, I'd retrain in something I enjoyed and something that I could give back to the community, after taking so much from them over the years.

 

But what though?

[steelerbabe 10]

I am trying to decide what I would like to do at the moment...... but then I have been trying to decide for the last 13 years !

[mr_busdriver 10]

This is the ultimate question, I know of people who have decided to try their hand at a new career, only to descover that after qualification, there are no jobs.

 

So what would you do? learn a trade, or get a degree, after all, should you lose your job and then try to retrain the last thing you want is to end up in debt, with a qualification thats worth nothing and find yourself no more employable than you are now

[BasilRathbon 10]

If I found that I was perceived as difficult to work with, with a bad-tempered nature and a grudge against society I think I'd retrain to become a bus driver.

I think I`d follow in my wifes footsteps and train as a support worker. she re-trained 2 years ago and hasn`t looked back. She`s now thinking of training to be a nurse.

There used to be a bloke on Brighton Pier who claimed that he could tell womens' fortunes by feeling their breasts. That's not a bad gig.
