For background, I am a lawyer and have decided to change career. One recurrent possibility I keep coming back to is editing/proofreading. Being a lawyer I spent a huge amount of time proofing, editing etc documents and I believe I might have some transferrable skills. I am thinking of doing an introductory course with the sfep and carrying out a bit more research but I was wondering whether there were any editors proofreaders about with any advice which they might thing is relevant eg: is it a good career to get into? Is it difficult to get into? Do you get good job satisfaction? Do you need a degree in publishing? Any courses which are helpful to do? Any tips.
Any info at all would really be appreciated to help me assess whether it might be a viable possibility as I don't know anyone in this line of work in the "real world".
