I would look for something in the medical field because there are always positions open and almost every location because ppl need medical care were as some jobs you need to be located in certain areas to find work. FI is going for dental assistant which takes a year and then dental hygienist which will be other year. Or even look at a career as radiologic technologists. you could work at a hospital or private practice. that program is about two years.
I see you live in Telford, i lived in Hatfield last year and the FI went to Mont Co. they have both dental hygienist and radiologic technologists and i think a couple more medical fields that would all take about 2 years
