I am going through a redundancy after years of working in communications and marketing/pr. I really want to do something different but don't know what and wondered if anyone had suggestions or experiences of changing career or even a small pilot away from comms? My current job is media focused and I hate it. I enjoy writing and the creative aspect of comms but hate dealing with the media and the stress of it all. I want to do something else, something that I can specialise in and get really good at.
I've never known what I wanted to do for a career and only have education up to A levels. If I could afford it I'd go back to study but don't think it's realistic unless I'm very clear on what I want career wise.
Any advice on resources to explore different careers and your transferable skills? And study options?
I am 45 and have a 2 year old so probably need to be realistic!
