Has anyone drastically changed their career to something in a completely different field? I'm currently working in finance after sort of falling into it after Uni and wanting some job security after turning down some jobs in the City (did an internship at an investment bank who laid off 5,000 people during my time there).
My current job isn't fullfilling at all and while I've got the ACA qualification under my belt, the thought of spending the rest of my career/life auditing accounts or working accounts makes me feel ill.
I've been thinking about pilot school to become a commercial pilot. I've set aside some cash to go towards the huge training fees but I don't know whether it's a bit late in the day for that specific career (I'm 28). I'd love to do it though, but I'm currently on decent money and would initially see me probably half my salary for at least 3-4 years.
There's a lot in the whole "you only live once" mentality but then again, f***ing it up
from a relatively comfortable position doesn't make it any better.
I left financial services at 49 to train for mental health social work. Now working as a CBT therapist. Never too late to change , but I don't think I will make it as a jockey at this stage, not least cos I'm nearly 60, can't ride a hoss and weigh 14 clem
A well trodden path. Most of the graduates we recruited had science degrees rather than specific computing ones. Quite a few had gone down the academic route etc to begin with but then made the switch when it wasn't what they hoped it would be.Yes. I did a PhD in Molecular Biology /Biochemistry for four years and now work in software/tech.
Was easy to do mind as I'm still in my mid-20s.
I made a big change a couple of years ago. Don't regret it for a minute.Has anyone drastically changed their career to something in a completely different field?

Easier said than done but the easiest test is to say "What would I do with my time if I won the lottery?"I've worked in charity since I left University, but I still don't know if it's what I want to do, I'm just good at it so I've stuck to it.
I honestly don't know what I'd do if I left the charity sector so some job/career suggestions would be useful.
I did the national careers service tests and even spoke to someone and when they said "What would you like to do?" I said that's the problem, I don't know.

Obviously the first few answers would be along the hookers and blow line but eventually you'd settle on something you really enjoy doing. The trick is to turn whatever that is into a career.
Open a brewery with its own bar and radio station.I've volunteered in a radio station before but that was quite a while ago and funnily enough they don't just take people on just because they give up 2 weeks of their holidays.
I've worked behind a bar and in kitchens when I was at college
I've volunteered at a small brewery. I enjoyed that but could I do it all year round? Possibly but I'd need a range of things to do.
My other problem is I'm slightly trapped by what I earn, which isn't a fantastic amount, but going from that to entry level anything seems like a massive drop
I suppose I've got to have a real think about what I want out of life, which is effectively someone to pay me money to live and I'll potter around doing things I want to do.
That would be nice
I could be a jockey mind. Aside from the fact I'm scared of hosses
I work in IT but am looking to set up my own business. Thats where the real money is.
