Just saw an advert in the local newspaper advertising driving instructor training (that’s their website) I am really tempted to give it a go, as I have been looking for a new career for a while now. My brother will continue running the restaurant, but I want to get on with something new and fresh.

I did some research online about it, and apparently the salary is really good, up to 40k per year, and of course you get to be your own boss. That has always been a priority for me, being my own boss. I hate working for other people, and love the idea of being on my own all day – apart from the punters in the car with me of course!

One thing that does worry me though is the prospect of having to study again after all these years. It has been a while since I have learnt anything new, and I am not sure if I can handle it. Who would have thought that becoming a driving instructor was so challenging? I never really thought about the process before, but it really is quite difficult to become a fully qualified driving instructor.

Will post back here with any progress I make, wish me luck!
