I work in an office. I always have done ever since I was 17. I have always enjoyed it despite the obvious pitfalls of office working (strip lighting pallor, carpel tunnel syndrome from squeezing the stressball, etc) even after I've been made redundant (twice!) I've always looked for more office work as it's all I've been able to do. In the back of my head I've always wanted to make a complete change, as I have a creative side that's just dying to get out! I'm not even sure what I want to do, I just know I don't want to be cooped up in an office anymore. I love things like interior design, baking....I'm like a 50's housewife when I get home from the office.
I've been thinking about this a lot recently, as I've been off work after having hip surgery, so it's not like I would jump the office ship anytime soon but to be honest the thought of that makes me sad. I'll be 26 in a couple of months....is it too late to make a drastic change? Is it too risky?
I'd love to do something different, as I feel like I'm wasting away under all that strip lighting, but....I just don't have the stones to make a change.
I'm lucky enough that my Dad has said he'll fund any courses I want to do but I have a feeling he'd want to pay for Business Studies, or Administration or something.
Has anyone else had a career change? How did you get the cahonies to do it?
Any advice would be gratefully received, as always.
