Thinking of a career change

[sojo44]

Has anyone done it?
What was your experience?

Perhaps you could narrow the focus of your question a little? (So as not to prompt answers from people whose experience may be irrelevant for you.)

What qualifications do you have?

What is your current area of work and how far up the ladder are you?

Can you afford a drop in salary?

Are you interested in re-training and how long could you dedicate to this?

Is there another occupation you particularly want to try - or are you vague on this point?

Does your work have to accommodate any particular domestic situation or location?

These things might help people to respond accordingly!
