    Hi all.

    So I'm 27 years old and I'm a qualified plumber. I had my own business up untill November 2012 and then due to a number of different reasons I lost the business. Since then I've kind of been lost.

    After I lost the business I went into melt down and didn't know what to do. I took a job ( plumbing )down in Munster for a while but I hated it and decided to come back home and maybe start a business again. It didn't really work as I wasn't in the right state if mind. Previous to the collapse of the company I was suffering from severe anxiety and depression. I had got through that but then went everything went I swayed back into it and have been struggling every since.

    I then decided to head to the UK for a while and clear the head. I loved it but was just a bit home sick. I really got my act together there and got back into fitness and all that. I have ballooned to a big size pervious so I really and happy with what I have achieved.

    Anyway a job came up a home and I moved home. I just don't feel the job is for me at the minute but I also feel it could be just myself not settling back in as well. I want to get a business back going again but to be honest I'm afraid since what happened last time. Also I now feel that time is creeping up on me. I feel with the trade I have that it's going to become impossible to think about a mortgage etc in years to come as i will never be permanent. Don't think anyone will be in construction.

    I don't know whether to head to collage or head abroad again. Maybe Canada or oz. I always felt id love to be a quantity surveyor or an accountant but I'm wondering how will I support myself if I go down that road also by the time I finish a course I would into my 30's and then I would need to find a job and work from there.

    Sorry for the long post but just looking for people with similar positions.
