Uncertain future (a personal rant)

So I had a test relating to my job (driving instructor) today and failed miserably, I get another chance at it but this comes off the back of thoughts I've been having a while in regarding my job. To cut a long story short I've not been happy as an instructor for some time, I've tried various things to improve it but in the end I realise this job has had a detrimental effect on my life both physically and mentally.

I've always put in my best effort into the job and I have the results to prove it, my 1st time pass rate is way above the national average yet I cannot translate that into passing a check test.

So where does this leave me? Well I could double down my efforts to pass my next attempt but my heart isn't in it, I'm now looking at apprenticeships in vehicle mechanics or IT support (something I have history in), this would be a struggle for a year financially as the pay is famously low but at least I'd have a career/trade after.

Naturally this reduction in pay would also jeopardise my ownership on my ZT which is something I'd rather not so as I've become somewhat attached to it, but it's definitely something that has to go if things get too tight.

Sorry for the personal rant
