Everyone is living with the effects of the cuts.
Without wishing to appear cruel, and not knowing your circumstances, if there's no access into a career you'd like to do, it might mean considering a different type of employment.
Besides, just because someone's trained as a 'life coach', or whatever, doesn't necessarily mean someone will be willing to pay for that service when qualified, which would mean full time employment.
There's hundreds of thousands of people doing jobs they don't particularly like. They do them because they have to.
Again, honestly, not being nasty, your first post was very negative, and bitter towards these part-time jobs, paying thirty-five pounds a week.
Good for them, that are lucky enough to get 'em.
If there's sadly no way to retrain for what you think you'd like to do, you have no option, but to consider an alternative career.
Getting angry, at a situation that isn't going to change, anytime soon, wont secure a NVQ in mentoring skills.
Obviously an intelligent man, you'll perhaps have to think of another path back to employment.
Besides, in a recession probably not a good area to want to get into. Life coaching, skill training, mentoring, are always the first things to have their budgets cut, so there'll be less people seeking those things.
