[QUOTE="howit, post: 7804114, member: 44108"] Having been in a similar position after selling my cows and handing my tenancy back to our WONDERFUL!!! Landlord. I had a couple of interviews with a water company these didn't workout and I was left looking for alternatives, a bit of groundworks and other bits, there seemed to be no chance of getting a mortgage being self employed without 3 years of books behind me. By chance one night saw a job going in a local quarry as a machine op, applied, interview and was offered the job same day!! Not what I was expecting but if I can stick at it ,long term security. They will put me through all training and full apprenticeship. Trying something completely different to dairy farming(at 45)is extremely daunting and not sure quarrying will be for me, but I will give it a good go. As they say there is life after cows!! Ollie not sure where you are based but have a look on Tarmac website there's about 10 pages of jobs from admin to machine ops and anything else in between. A bit long but chin up and keep looking theres alot of work out there and they always say its easier to find a job when you have a job. [/QUOTE]
