Have you given any thought about working for yourself instead of waiting for a job to go after?
I did and bought a boarding kennels and cattery which was in a poor state and built up the business. Best move I ever made, yes long hours no weekends off etc but working with animals makes up for it. No bosses telling you what to do "apart from er indoors" , coffee breaks when you want and meeting lots of nice people. I love it and have done for 20 years. Bonus is all the money is yours not going to someone elses business
