Many people get to their 30’s and start to re think what they are doing with their life. They may have had a career break to have children or may just feel that they are under stimulated in their current role. However even if you are unhappy in your current job the thought of changing your career path can be a daunting one especially if you are in your 30’s and would need to re train.
It’s important to look at different job options and not rule out jobs that would require additional qualifications as many people choose to change career in their 30’s.
If your ideal job would require you getting a degree or similar then you may be able to do an access course to allow you to start your university course gradually to see if it’s what you want to be studying. An access course is designed to ease you back in to studying again so It’s suitable even for people who have been out of full time education for a while.
You can also access some careers advice from your local citizens advice bureau that can be helpful when considering a change in career, including what grants or loans you may be eligible for to help support you and your family while you study.
