Employment

I am a photocopier engineer, mostly working in schools. Always been in a IT repair/build job since I left school. Have never had a career , just bumbled along doing this. No I am 53 I have really had enough, I hate it, would love to retire. It is not just this job but any job really, it is all a massive struggle. However in 18 months we are relocating  to a much cheaper area so will have no debts and mortgage and I will just need to work to pay for the basics. Want something simple, stress free and without early starts, maybe a cafe job or retail as have never worked in anything like that.

I volunteer half a day a week in a cafe and it’s great but I can take a break e.g. if it gets too noisy or not volunteer at all e.g. if it gets too hot like this week. It depends what you are sensitive to.

I wish you all the best with that. Moving to a new location has got to be one of the most stressful events on top of seeking suitable employment you feel comfortable with---good luck.
