Im looking for career advice as I am stumped.
Im 36, just finished a degree in psychology, have 4 years exp in IT, 2 yrs of a comp sc degree fnished, 7 years exp in property lettings and management but no qualification in it, and have run my own business in same for 2 years.
I wanted to go down the clinical psychology route until I realised there are no openings nor will there be. To even get onto the 3 year course you have to work ridiculously hard - its not worth it.
At the moment I can do a masters next year and again it will most likely be for nothing as there is way too much competition for a job that is not worth it.

What I am looking for is for someone to look at my experience and qualifications as Ive posted, and suggest something? Any advice is greatly appreciated, feel pretty washed up and broke after 3 years of practically pointless college.
