Default Thinking of moving back?

Ok i've thought hard and long about this, i love the IOM but work wise with me only having 2 gcses ( i think i got D's), and w/e i can't do much here, you can't get in the college for any courses etc... even if i wanted to.

Now i know you SV'rs are full of useful info. I would possibly look to move back in the next 6 months or so, if so what sort of things do i need to sort. Any advice where to start, i ofc would need accomadation and work. I would like to work in some form of driving but have no HGV lisence, i do have a full bike and car lisence ofc, so i have no idea what that entitles me too drive, and where i can get any sort of useful job.

Any advice where to start with things and start looking would be much appriciated, 1 very very bored manx resident seriously considering moving back to uk!

most driving jobs ask you to be 21 or over, i went for a delivery driving job a few weeks back when i got laid off, also went just as a driver for a car sales to drive customers cars about for them, also 21 or over

ye alot seems to be 21. im not there for another 2 and half years sadly, i would probably aim to live somewhere in the north of England so i can get the boats etc... across to see family and what not. Any suggestions for jobs where i get to do some form of driving and can do at 18 ( i have 2 and abit years in catering on my cv thats it).

\I would just need the chance to prove myself really at work!

What do you actually want to do for a job, want out of life?

I have met and worked with a lot bored in the UK or where ever whatever they do.

Work out where you want to be. Would on the job training be better for you? Desite my degree, I find learning on the job is fun, but for me being classroom has its place but I find right now I'm ahead of the crowd.

Firstly i'll say i hate learning in classrooms etc... sitting down studying all that, find it horendously boring, note my appauling quals. thats because i used to just skive and **** about essentially.

I love the technicality of driving sound weird i know, just anything to do with driving is great for me, i love the challenge i was dissapointed to realise about 3 weeks ago i couldn't take my HGV lisence till i was 21 which i wanted to work on over this winter.

In life i just want to be able to afford to continue biking and support myself, go the pub bla bla nothing immense, certinaly not in the any time near future, i've never really been intrested in a long term learning career or offfice jobs etc....

And then just hopefully (not very likely) find someone to be with the rest of my life, nothing major just a normal life doing what i enjoy listed above.
