Im 26 years old just left a mental health nursing degree as I ended up hating it. I currently work with disabled people as a support worker which I have been doing since I was 20. I fancy a change but not too sure what I could do I was looking at an articulated dumper driver but think I might find it a bit repetative. I was also considering doing psychology with a view to becoming a clinical psychologist or training towards being a social worker.
I really have no idea what to do just looking for suggestions I cant get into the army etc due to medical issues.

Thanks for all the replies im considering everything at the moment.Its not too late to reconsider in fact the uni have strongly suggested I stay I am returning to my placement on monday (im at least going to finish my first year to exit with a certificate in health studies) and have to discuss my options with my lecturer there. I just feel a bit like the Job I will be doing if I become a nurse isnt really much different to what I do just now as a support worker. Another option for me is to pursue a management vacancy at my current job it pays a bit more than a newish nurse but it is a bit of a dead end.

Cheers for the advice guys I have officially left uni ( couldnt afford to continue even if I wanted to now ). I have been looking at doing a nebosh general certificate and then diploma I have no real health and safety experience would it be a waste of time?

For the CAD stuff how would I get into that? I found a city and guilds course and college courses which would people reccomend?
