I'm looking now at retraining too and entering the construction industry. It was hard enough to earn a half decent wage in Archaeology a few years ago and it's now impossible. I've had enough of it.
The good news is that if you are made redundant and on the dole for over 3 months there are government schemes that will pay you up to ?2,500 for retraining. You have to see a Careers adviser first. Jobcentre plus can give you the info on this.
