Okay sorry guys, this might be the wrong place to post this.

I would like to changed of career/job.

I am not happy with what I am doing right.

I think I still have time to go back to study and do something different.

I am not - what you would call smart smart, I worked in retail for too long, its literally brain numbing.

I live in the UK, so next year September I wouldn’t mind doing something more rewarding and more challenging, even if it means studying course or degree/Diploma,
But I don’t know what. But I am really bad at maths and science so I feel like my options are limited

What do you like to do or think you would be good in that?
Perhaps you need to meet with a career counselor?

Okay. So you've identified your weaknesses but what are your strengths? Let's focus on those. And what do you enjoy doing?

Well, let's start by asking you what YOU believe a respectable job is?

Default sales

my suggestion is to go into sales. Sales is the backbone of any country, business, the future.

Look for a job,, where you need to be somewhere or go somewhere, NOT a job where you can do everything on the phone. Run, stay away, since the employer(s) will try to compartmentalize your job into a customer service job, by hiring a bunch of people at low wages and low commissions.
Realize that sales requires that people trust you and also like your personality.
So remember to 1) choose a sales job where you can build your own client group. 2) a sales job where you have to go to the customer, 3) take classes where you build your sales skills, 4) stay away from small products like cell phones 5) you need items where the investment is in the 10,000's. 6) Remember for the first 10 years to save half of your pay into a CD or money market, since you will get old and people will not want to hire you.
