Ideas for a change of career

5 replies

headinthecloudsx · 16/06/2022 20:26

I have recently gone back to work after maternity leave and I'm really not enjoying my job (I work as a bookkeeper).

I really fancy a complete career change. My requirements are:

-Something where I can train on the job or train part time
-A job where it's feasible to work part time 2 or 3 days a week
-Something with an earning potential of £25-30K per year pro rata

Any ideas much appreciated!

HR? Teaching? Train driving? Beautician?

What are you interested in eg work with children / something linked to any other interests you have) What qualifications do you have already? This will help us maybe give you some more ideas

I'm open minded to trying anything!

I have a foundation degree in psychology and AAT accounting qualifications up to level 4.

Project management? It took me 15 months to qualify in post as an apprentice - career change after decades in a creative industry. I kind of hate it but the money is now good (£45k) and the accounting and psychology skills would be v useful

speech and language therapist?

With your psychology background that could work

It's a really interesting varied and rewarding career

They've just bought in apprenticeships too for qualification in some areas
