Technician Career Advise!

[harrystar]

Ok So hopefully I'm posting this in the correct place! I just wanted some general advise really I have been running my own business for 2years, I'm good at what I do, but theres a side to it I really hate (dealing with people!)

I mean sometimes you get the odd really nice person who is genuinely lovely to help & deal with, but 60% of the time you get people that are moody with you and being a friendly sensitive person myself, I hate it.

The big problem is I do earn a fair amount of money and of course that part I like & I enjoy repairing side of things, I have never been good at spelling etc (as i'm sure you can tell already i'm dyslexic) but even when I was young i have always been great with numbers, & I can pretty much take anything apart & put it back together i have an Eidetic memory for that type of work, I'm also capable without having any training of building a fairly decent website as I learn things very quickly the more complex they are the quicker I will learn. (something simple like my ABC i have no chance with lol)

But I really really really do not wish to do this job anymore!! I can't stand it, I know I'm lucky to have work and a lot of people don't right now, I'm even more lucky to be paid a good amount for what I do to pay for the things i do like.

whatever job i do i need to have flexible hours as I'm very much into sport and i work to do that! hence being self employed, not to say that I don't work hard as I do but I can choose when i do it e/g i may work from 7am to 2pm, then from 4pm to 10pm 6days a week, and i can plan to have the odd day off when i like, and if needed i can stop work for 10mins if i choose too.

I have worked since I was 14 I'm not a slacker its programmed into me that I must work (I'm only 22) but I would really like to do something I don't hate & that doesn't make me feel ill sometimes.

It has crossed my mind that I would like to go to uni and take a electric engineering course then I could work for a major network or retailer as a technician the only things that worry me about that idea is jobs are fare and few between & the cost of going to uni in the first place. I also am at a dis-advantage because when I went to school when being dyslexic they didn't really know what it was and just though there 'slow'

So I was not taught the correct way its a miracle i can spell, read or write & if it hadn't been for my parents putting in the hours with me I wouldn't of been able to at all.

My point is before I go to Uni the requirements of the course is that I must have A-levels ,school was hell enough for me so I had no interest what so ever in prolonging the living hell at the time! Maths wouldn't be a problem but english would be!

If anyone has any helpful suggestions I'd be really grateful.
