I seem to have the opposite problem, I finished education and went travelling for 4 years, working abroad and doing 'seasonal jobs', was great and glad I did it.

Only problem now is I am 28 been living at home last 2 years and have no idea what to do for work. Currently working for the council but it is a temp contract ending soon.

I really want a career, but no idea what to do, I like the idea of being self employed thought about committing to a trade, such as a sparky but can not decide if it is right for me.

I currently have an application in process for the RAF which is an exciting opportunity, but also worried about going in at entry level on 17k a year at my age.

It is horrible not knowing what to do, and even stuff I do fancy (applied for trainee train driver) I did not get!
If I had my time again in the building game, I would be a Sparky or Gas engineer, both currently massively in demand and earning top whack money, the plus point of both of them working self employed you can pick and choose jobs
