I'm in a rut! I need to change careers but I just don't know what to do.

I live fairly rurally and so that limits things somewhat. I need to earn a decent wage (but am willing to work up to get there).

I don't want to have to go back to uni but would do some retraining and on the job qualifications.

I just don't know what to do. I've previously worked in marketing and I've just fallen out of love with it.

So, if you changed career, what did you change from and to. How has that worked out for you?

What do you teach?

Changed from working in mental health, to teaching on-line from home. I did OU to get a degree and my commute is now 10 steps.

Love it!
