I’m not really enjoying my job any more (senior architectural technician) and I’m just about getting fed up. The trouble is that I can’t afford to re-train as Uni/college costs are extortionate (resulting in long-term debt) and , to be honest, I don’t really want to do this job for another three years or so.
The other trouble is that I’m not really sure what I want to do. and at 40, I want to get this right.
My other role at the moment is IT manager. which I actually enjoy more than my main job, but I don’t have any qualifications in this, and limited experience, so I can’t really transfer directly into this type of job.
I’d like to utilise one of my interests (geology, Earth sciences, music, physical exercise) but these would require a lot of expensive training and possibly limited prospects at the end. So, I feel a bit stuck at the moment.
I don’t really expect any answers here, I just felt like I needed to get that down in print.
