How do you know what job is right for you?
 

Not a trick question, but a serious one .. I basically am at a point in my life where I fancy a career change.

Problem is I don’t have a clue what I would rather do ..:scratch:

How/what methods can I use to decide what I need to be looking at?

Just leave your add in the local telephone booth ;)

Start at the other end, make a list of the jobs you dont want to do and then once you've sorted that out, everything else then is an opportunity...

I am of the opinion that I'll never have a career. Which is okay as I don't need one. As long as the bills are paid and I can keep some bikes on the road I'll do almost any job.

I'm trying to find one that:

* Let's me ride on sunny days.
* Surrounds me with beautiful women
* Pay's me a king's ransom
* Asks nothing of me

But to be serious, I'm with Hooligan Dan. Just want to pay the bills.

Maybe a very boring consideration, but pretty crucial, is how much money do you need to make?

I was in a very fortunate position when I was able to take voluntary redundancy and change the course of my career to a much less stressful route.

If something crops up where I need some cash, I do a few months contract work to pay for it. Otherwise I do what I enjoy but which doesn't pay particularly well. Quality of life vs. standard of living.

That is the situation I have the opportunity to potentially put myself in ... but what is it that I'd enjoy? How do I know? :scratch:

Should I consider this an oportunity to move forward/make more money and pocket the redudency, or to take the eassy road like you!?!? ;)

Out of interest Blue, what do you do now and why are you fed up with it? Might be a good place to start from coming up with ideas ...........

Sad to say Im at the point in me life where I just turn up, do the job and take the money, but what do you really want to do ? you must have some idea I would have thought, trouble is the older you get the more baggage you attain, what I mean is , some years ago I wanted to go into nursing as a psychiatrich nurse (spl?)but couldt afford to throw a well paid job in to train, whatever you do, dont leave it too late mate, good luck with it.
