Ever changed careers?

[DawnM]

My husband did, but it was in his late 20s. He went back to school to become an accountant, got his MA and has been in the field ever since.

I have changed and furthered my career, but all in the same general field.

I changed careers three times. I'm looking at what will be my fourth once I retire.

I haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up.

I had the same type of job for the 35 years I worked, but in different settings. I've been a clerk-typist, secretary, senior secretary, administrative secretary and executive assistant. I worked at a travel agency, a doctor's office, two colleges, and US consulates and embassies all over the world. I was lucky in that I knew from the time I was in HS that this was the kind of work I wanted to do and lucky that office administrators always seemed to be in demand.

If you don't know what you want to do, just that you want a change, you may want to contact the counseling center of the closest college and arrange for some aptitude/interest testing. Good luck; you know what "they" say: If you love what you're doing you'll never work a day in your life.

I've been trying for a career change since due to government interference, my hours have been cut in the fast food industry. Not sure what I want to do but want a stable paycheck with full time hours. And, HOPEFULLY, NO WEEKENDS!
