!LOOKING FOR ADVICE!
Hiya everyone, I'm completely new to the work force, I'm 20 with nothing other than GCSEs, I'm a single parent looking for a career I can grow in but have absolutely no idea where to start or how to get a job without going to university, which I probably wouldn't be able to.
Really struggling to find a way into work.
I like plants and animals, I love nature in general so anything to do with tha would be great.
Jobs with training would be brilliant.

Medical certifications can go a long way. There’s a lot of job security in the medical field especially radiology types of work. Not exactly plants, animals, or nature but just a thought!

jobs in ecology, horticulture, etc often need a bit of experience even for entry level jobs. If it is possible for you financially look at local volunteering opportunities. My daughter started volunteering at her local National Trust property and is now a gardener at a zoo and loves it.

Gardening at a zoo sounds like a fab job I bet she's having the time of her life 🤣 I wouldn't be able to volunteer but I may be able to get a part time job in a plant nursery or something along those lines?
