Short story - my entire career has been based in an industry that is now dying.
I went freelance five years ago when it was still quite profitable but the work just isn’t there anymore and when it is, it’s not well paid.
I can pick up odd jobs and bits and pieces here and there and have supplemented it with other similar types of work but I don’t feel like it’s a long term prospect for earning a decent wage.
Only now I’m kind of stuck as I feel like I should refrain and do something more profitable... but I have no idea where to start!
To give you an idea my career is in a niche part of publishing (that’s quite loose but will give you an idea of my skill set).
I’m wondering if I should stick with what I’m doing and just try and be more creative at finding work and clients - is retraining now a silly idea?!

AIBU to retrain in my thirties - although I don’t know what to do!
