So I have been working on cars for almost 10 years now, and I have completely lost motivation to continue working on them. I'm currently the manager of a 2 person workshop and that means not just working on cars but all the admin work, too. I actually hate my job, fear of losing my job is my only motivation, I am applying for other places to try change direction without a lot of luck.
I'm single in a mid sized town in rural NSW, Australia. Cost of living is fairly high where I am, high enough that I need a job at all times to sustain myself and minimum wage won't cut it.
Who has changed careers and what would you do, and how? I am considering studying Land Management or Environmental Science to do something I care more about, but I would need to work full time and study at the same time, and with my current workload I just would not cope.
Alternatively what are some decent paying options that don't require a degree? My back can't handle much manual labour anymore due to surgery. I would hate being back on the tools as it leads to nowhere.
