How about checking some TAFE options? They have very good courses that can be done at night time or online, I just complete a diploma in project management and landed a job in Facilities Management, salary is more than good, work is very satisfying, hours are good 8 t0 4 1/2, work in CBD looking after 2 big buildings and have a free car bay. I had a building trade background in electrical eng. and have to admit it helped a lot. I have heard they just started a new TAFE recognized diploma in Facilities Management............ a good place to check would be a big FM company and see if you have some prospect of employment. It is a better spot than Real estate, no many hassles as you are dealing with clued up people not stupid white trash that are unable to clean the s**t under their bum and expect the house to be repainted every 2 months.
I almost did the mistake taking on a portfolio of homes west properties as a FM. A few of my mates told me not to be stupid as no money could compensate you for been crushed between your boss and the daily abuse of the (80%) idiots tenants.
