Im 27 now and although my job pays me reasonbly well, i know that i can never progress there. Ive asked my boss a few times if i can ever be trained to do something more involved and 2 years down the line and im still doing the same things despite when joining the company they said we'll start you off on this wage and you can progress from there.

So, i want to leave my workplace , isnt even a nice place to work, get talked to like shit and the way some people are there has caused me to lose all self confidenced in making decisions for myself etc.

How do i, at the age of 27 go about finding a job somewhere that will train me up aswell?? I have qualifications but i did a N.D in graphics at college so dont have any actual skill or trade which i now regret. ish i'd done a plumbing course instead of wasting 3years doing art.

Every job advert mentions wanting a experienced person, and if i talk to anyone they say well what do you want to do.

Im so eager to get on in life and progress. I'll never get a place of my own if i stay earning the money i earn now, well i could but its going to cripple me.

Just wondered if anybody on here is in the same boat as me, or if anyone on here works in recruitment based in Essex.

Thanks, Mike
