Having had several career changes (simply because I was a bit bored and I could change) I think now, looking back that there were some external influences that made me take up for example my second career and training in Mental Health. What influenced you to take a path different from the one you had set out as a youngster? |

I've had a career change. What influenced me was I was bored in my old job. You spend a third of your day at work. There has to be something about it that is challenging otherwise you're hanging around for Friday and wishing your life away

Very true, I have changed careers several times though and I am right on the verge of doing it all over again - this time it will be in IT and I m hoping that the challenges will keep me interested for long enough.  |

Hey that is good and I wish you the best of luck in this project. If you want it, if you can see yourself doing it... you can do it. It really does work believing in yourself!! |

"I wanted to be a brain surgeon but I didn’t have the patience.
_rummps x  In some cases you would need a lot of patience to find people's grey matter  "
Especially where I work- most of them can't find the soap, let alone their brains......... |

Key to starting a new career is understanding how things should work so the firm does what it is supposed to do and makes money, and what the language means, the words that's obvious to everyone steeped in an industry but which might be new to you
Having friends on the inside is a great help so you'll be fine |

That is a really good point, to look at the market and what is needed before embarking on potentially expensive training. There are for a few professions where people had hoped to get into and found there was no work at teh end of the training and no matter how much you fancy that job, it would be potentially wwasted time and money. |

I have completely changed my career path 3 times. Whilst im training and taking exams im happy. Once im qualified then after a while I get itchy feet for something new.
Its starting to happen to me again, though I will stay within the structure im employed in but Im specialised at the moment and I shall look to move into something new. I guess I am quite ambitious too, its not me staying in the same job / career for a lifetime. |

Thats what I meant, I get itchy feet after a few years and feel teh need for a change. It would really worry me to think that I would be doing the same thing for the next 20 years. |

I wanted to be a journalist...... And then I discovered LSD, which was......interesting
....anyway...... After being sent away from the "distractions" of an urban environment in my late teens, I ended up bored in Devon (surely not!), I volunteered to work overseas for a while, did bits and pieces, came back to the uk, went to university for my bachelors, went overseas again, came back and did my masters..... And well now I ounce around a bit doing what I can, where I can.
So LSD stopped me being a journalist and led me down a more philanthropic road..... I now dislike journalists overseas, having seen some of the stunts they pull to get their stories...
Oh and drugs are bad, mmmmk?
