so the UK government is concerned that a lot of jobs won't come back after Covid and people should think about retraining.

To do so they've created an on-line assessment to find out what job they think might suit you.

Out of vague interest I just completed it.

In the Leisure sector my top 6 recommendations are:

Football referee
Bingo Caller
Fitness Instructor
Croupier
Lifeguard
Racehorse Trainer


I was hoping for "Manager of a wargames shop" or "professional figure painter" evil grin

I just checked their suggestions for a Government job.

Top 3 choices :

Environmental Health Officer
Royal Marines Officer
Prison Governor

If I don't like them then maybe

Neighbourhood Warden
Civil Enforcement Warden ( we used to call them traffic wardens!)
RAF non-commissioned Aircrew (that's a bit rich – I'd want in to the Officers Mess!)

Wow. First result was teaching. I'm a teacher.
Then manufacturing?

Under Science and research my top job recommendation was

Astronomer.

It said I might have to work nights.

No…really…it really said I might have to work nights as an astronomer.

Guess we didn't get the funding for the radio telescope….

Under Education it thought maybe

Higher Education Lecturer

or

Primary School Teacher.

That certainly runs the gamut of possibilities.

Under Retail it thought I might make a good Travel Agent. Yup, with 80% of flights grounded, hotels and resorts closed across the world I should retrain to sell holidays. That sounds like a solid career move evil grin

It's not just me I'm glad to say:

I like Dr Kate Devlin who is an Artificial Intelligence specialist….the Retrain advice was – DJ or Boxer. evil grin

Quite a lot of people seem to be getting Lock-Keeper. Not too many Hansom Cab drivers or Wheelwrights…..
