I've been labouring most of my life (which I've loved) and last year suffered a back injury that is not going away. I kind of feel lost with it as while I've been able to find some short contracts I'm afraid that I'll do something a little more permanent to my back. The doc warned me the next time I saw her would be with a knife 
Anybody done the same and found a job to suit or did you go and study and find work and how were prospective employers. Consider I'm now 37. Have any of you been able to find a more professional like job?

If in your situation I would get into Workplace Health & Safety, the building site WH&S Officers are very well paid these days, usually they are also asked to do some manual work on site. You will need to get some training in First Aid as well.
Later you can seek to progress to WH&S Inspector with the government .
