Posting this because now is the time I need to start looking at serious career options now, it's finally hit me that I can't keep being so laid back lol 
Currently work as an administrative staff for the jobcentre but in an outsourcing company, pays well for what it is but I hate the idea of a desk job and on a computer all day
Looked into apprenticeships mainly in utilities (national grid, British gas seem to run decent ones) but because I have a colour vision deficiency this rules out a lot of roles :/
Wondering if anyone knows anywhere else to look apart from the big employers or off the Internet? or alternative career roles that have decent future prospects but are fairly physical and require some thought lol
Would love to be a mechanic or similar but from what I hear there's hardly any money in it unless you go self employed? Though my mate just got an apprenticeship with Arnold Clark and eventually they want to make the team of apprentices into managers at their respective branches
Job market is too confusing I have decent qualifications up to AS level if that's any use
Thankyou
