Yeah I hear you. I love physical work and love working with my hands, but I still wonder how long I can do it for. Especially in a non air conditioned factory around large commercial ovens all day. I doubt myself too much to do any study, and I don't know what I would study for a change of career anyway. I feel kind of stuck. Mr P did demolition after a career of being a chef, and the two things ruined his health. When it's hot it's almost even worse, as they expect the work to be done faster so you can all get out of there. If you can't start earlier on hot days you miss out altogether.
I doubted myself for study for a long, long time.
But i think if you were comfortable with office administration, you could get in without any extra study.
Shoot me a private message if you wanna have a chat :)
I'm super grateful for you being willing to give me some time, but in all honesty my admin skills are non existent, and the last time I worked in an office I was doing catering there lol. However I may revise my thoughts on the subject as I have literally no idea what I'm going to do!
I'm always happy to have a chat and help out if I can ❤️
