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

Re: How do you know what job is right for you?
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.

Re: How do you know what job is right for you?
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. |

Re: How do you know what job is right for you?
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.

Re: How do you know what job is right for 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 ...........

Re: How do you know what job is right for you?
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.
