Hi
I am a mum of one working from home and am thinking about a change in career. I am finding my job increasingly isolating due to very little interaction with people. It seems like the perfect job on paper as it fits in with school hours and is well paid for part-time work but after 6 years of doing the same work/projects and a boss who works overseas (out of sight out of mind) I have had enough and am starting to get increasingly disheartened with it for various reasons. I know you probably think I am mad due to the hours and working from home bit!
Instead of moping around I need to do something about it. I have been racking my brains to see what ideas I could come up with to start my own business.
However, I have always been interested in property and turned down a graduate job with a leading estate agent when I left university to work for a blue chip company. I turned it down as I though that there would not be much variety in the work as the planned route I was going to take was lettings and I wanted the sales job.
Are there any estate agents out there who can tell me what it is like - hours, variety of work, estate agents get a lot of bad press so do they get a lot of grief, holidays etc.
I am aware that I am going to have to give up child friendly hours and accept a lower salary to get some experience.
Thanks in advance...
