Do you still have access to your former college's career guidance counsellors? If not, I think there are other organisations around that are free and offer young people career advice. You're right to be thinking about your future prospects in your current job. Unfortunately, the public sector isn't well paid but they do tend to invest well in people so if, for example, you wanted to qualify as an accountant (bear with me, it's just an example!), you might find that your current employer would support you in terms of paying for all the exams etc. On the other hand, if you're a physical outdoors sort of person, then the building trade might be perfect for you and it can be a very well paid, particularly if you're self employed. Plus, you can easily get work overseas if that interests you. Good luck whatever you decide to do.
normally i read the other posts then comment, but you tend to find councils dont pay alot of money anyway,
you say building interested you, have you thought about a Trainee Quantity Surveyor they will allow you to go day release to college and work at the same time earning around �12k a year then with progression you can earn upto �26k in 5 years then the money roles in. it can be hard work and demanding sometimes, but so can most jobs i enjoy it and it has worked out great for me.
i would suggest looking at colleges and finding out about the course, check CITB, do a search so u can find out what the job involves, its a great career to get into at them moment, there is such a shortage of Quantity Surveyors.
