    What should you retrain as?

    Coronavirus UK: Britons continue to ridicule Rishi Sunak's online skills quiz | Daily Mail Online

    Hard-hit workers have been told to retrain into jobs they're already doing after filling out the Government's online 'skills assessment' questionaire - as the nation continued to mock the five-minute quiz today.

    A woman in her 50s was told to retrain as a stunt double, prompting her to joke 'I could be a stunt double for an unfit woman in her 50s?' while others were given no career options at all.

    It comes after Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak suggested people should look for new opportunities if their career was affected by coronavirus lockdown.

                  Can I retrain as Prime Minister or Chancellor of the country ? It seems anybody can do that work with no experience or credentials.

                    Or any discernible ability.
