Hi everybody, I know there have been various threads about career change but some have been quite old. I am early 30's and working in healthcare. I have worked for Local authorities, NHS, schools, charities and currently I am self employed. But I am really fed up of my career. I am healthcare professional and it's now impacting on my mental health and physical health.
I need to work to pay the bills etc, but I have no idea how to change my career. I thought about going to university to do something different, or online courses or setting up a business. It's been over a year since I have felt like I need to do something different. I am not enjoying what I do and I am very close to a burn out.
I guess what I am asking is, those who have changed careers, how much did it impact on your finances (did you have to take a major pay cut), how did you go about finding a different career? I did a lot of research in soft play centres and nurseries. However due to the current climate I don't this will be feasible, I have seen a few nurseries closing down which scares me.
If anyone has any useful advice I would appreciate it.
