Operation career change... - 12/08/2015 07:58
Ok, folks.
Times nearly here so starting a new thread on what hopefully will be start of operation career change.
I have always strived to keep training but have now hit the wall at work and particularly don't enjoy what I do. I earnt fairly well last year despite being out of work for nearly 8 weeks.
My job is fine, fairly easy and pays well but has no satisfaction and not much common sense above me in management. I work far closer with the client and there requirement and things seem to work very well like that.
I am a qualified gas safe commercial and domestic heating engineer, electrical installation qualified and f-gas qualified also. I have fell into positions where I can keep training in industries I don't really enjoy. I have always been in the service industry and field based.
Now it's time to pick something I do enjoy , I am currently looking at courses within the I.T industry. I know it's done to death but really enjoy many aspects, a slightly obsessed hobbies so to speak.Just gotta find where I fit.
This is due to my brother, a systems builder and support getting into the industry when he was 16 with Evesham micros or vale as some knew. I often work at his company, system building and solutions when required.
What is your experience of the industry, I want to thrive , happy to train while working and most importantly enter a career I enjoy and can get my teeth into.
Let me know your thoughts? I like to here people careers and experiences as it does help motivate and helps which path I may take.
