Changing career in late 30s

[Blackberriesandplums]

I'm in my late 30s and I've hit a bit of a dead end in my current career. If you were starting from scratch, what would be some good career paths to look at? I'm trying to be totally open-minded at this point so the only criteria is:

• Secure - a job that isn't going to become irrelevant in 10 years' time
• One with plenty of job openings, and opportunities to progress and increase earning potential (I'm on £50k at the moment, so would want to get back up to at least this)
• Max 1 year retraining
• Mostly office based
• Not coding - I've given this a really good go, and just don't find it interesting...

HIt me with some ideas!

Currently in IT? Something similar or complete change?

Cyber security? only going to get bigger & increase in demand. Lots of different types of roles.

Cloud development?

No I don't work in IT - I'm in the not-for-profit sector at the moment but looking for a complete change!

What transferable skills are you bringing from your current role?

Transferable skills - project management, relationship building, attention to detail, creative, analytical, numeracy...

But to be honest, I'm looking for something completely new, so not ruling anything out.

Do law or accountancy appeal at all?

VAT / customs specialist. If you can get onto a Big4 training contract all training will be paid for, you’ll be on £50k plus once you’ve done exams and it’s massively in demand post Brexit.

salaries post qualifying with a few years experience easily £70k plus

it’s a nice mix of law with a little bit of numbers.

Maybe! Will have a look, thank you

Project management, scrum master/agile coach, product owner, PMO, business analyst?

Ha, I started another thread on Product Owners! Definitely looks interesting
