What would you retrain as if money and time were no object?

[Swoonforpeterbishop]

I am at a crossroads career wise thanks to the pandemic and it’s made me think about retraining and where to go from here.

Just wondered what your dream would be if it didn’t matter about cost or time etc - what would you retrain as?

Im

Health visitor or midwife

I'd love to be a historian.

Forensic entomologist.

Air ambulance paramedic / doctor

@SweatyBetty20

Paramedic. The fees and massive pay cut are putting me off though - I don’t want to go back to £25k pa at 48 when I’m a sole house owner with a mortgage.

Yup this stops me too. Which is a massive shame as I'd be bloody awesome at it even if I do say so myself!

A psychologist.

I would also love to study speech and language therapy and studied linguistics at undergrad. Language in general fascinates me and I loved going for slt appointments with my son. I got more out of it than him!

Educational psychologist, lawyer or accountant.

Pianist

This is a bit weird, but I've recently read a book called 'Smoke Gets in your Eyes' by Caitlin Doughty and I now love the idea of working in a crematorium!

Alternatively - occupational therapist or forensic pathologist.

I don’t think training is required. I’d be a farmers wife. Failing that a vet nurse. (I’m a doctor)

Healthcare scientist, probably lab testing.

If I win the lottery though I’m going to help people manage their finances.

Emergency department consultant, ENT consultant or maybe max-fax/maxillofacial surgeon

A medievalist.

Toy designer.

Artist, the fine-art painter of pictures type

Designer and maker of shoes

Backing vocalist

A florist, fashion designer or photographer.

Florist.

Architect
Geologist/volcanologist
Airline pilot

Forensic scientist.

Absolutely fascinates me- I think I've been watching too much Silent Witness

Antiques dealer

Archaeologist

Social historian

Child psychologist
