How to change career by DarrenJM

"A life changing process."

How I did it: Be prepared to make serious sacrifices,  like part-time night school for 2 years, then I gave up a well paid job and went to university for 4 years to retrain.  Ultimately it was well worth the effort as I now have a job that holds my interest and multiplied my salary.  I found being a student instilled certain values my parents failed to teach me throughout my entire childhood.

Lessons & tips: Fully research your chosen career, including the necessary education requirements and also where the demand for employees is at geographically.
Speak to people already doing the job you want.  Find out how they arrived there.

    already underway! 3 months ago

    Slight cheat – as its underway, but I thought I’d give myself a boost by listing something I’m already onto:)

    I have a new job – starting at the bottom again to retrain to becoming an educational psychologist.

    I started last week as a support worker for people with learning disabilities.
