I went to university at 19, studied Model Design and Special Effects. Got a job as an architectural model maker then got made redundant within 6 months (at Christmas time) as it recession hit.
Went to work with my brother in law on large building sites as a ducting fitter. Did that for 3 years then started looking for something else.
I need to work with my hands as I can't do desk jobs and get bored easily so need varied work. I applied for loads of jobs at furniture makers, wanting lower pay to build experience, but to no avail. I finally applied to a small pattern makers company who took me on and trained me up.
All you need to do is figure out what you enjoy, be really honest about yourself and just write to people (no emails) to see if anything comes up.
You're never to old to move along, and shouldn't have to settle for a life you don't really want.
