    im 26 years of age

    Work Exp- i work part time Retail/general duties for the past 8 years but no progressing is not possible. learned duties such as Sales, money handling etc

    Education- I done 2 fetac courses (Office Admin & Media Studies) and A third level higher Cert in business in tourism.

    im starting to think its too late to start looking for a career as im too old. What should i be aiming to do ??? go back to college to get a degree ??

    here is a list of jobs i would like to have going into Retirement age

    1 Sales man in Computers/Electronics (big big interest in this)
    2 office worker
    3 General op factory worker

    I would consider going back to college but not a fan of education. I live at home with my dad (im single no kids) so getting grants and that would be no problem but i dont want to waste my time doing a course that would not guarantee a job ie i can progress and do the degree in the tourism course but no jobs around in that area ATM.

    any advice for me

    What are you good at? I.e. what interests you that you explore as a hobby?
