It's really hard. I'm doing it at the moment. I'm a 40 year old man being trained up with a bunch of 20 something women for a job. It'll take a year and it is really hard going.
It was hard to get onto the course. I've taken a huge loan. I'm shitting my pants. I've got no idea if I'll like the job or be good at it. It's the biggest gamble I've ever taken. The stress is unreal. Most of my fucking hair has fallen out. My body is just falling to bits. It feels like my heart is either going 200% or 10%.
When I read posts saying "Why don't people re-train?" Its for the same reason you don't re-train as a doctor or a teacher or for the police. Because it's not what you do. It's not what you want to do. It's hard to change. It's a massive gamble.
I imagine if you have no qualifications it's even harder.
