Change of career

[scooters]

Right folks,

Situation is that I've been working in the IT sector (software delivery) as a Business Analyst for approx four years and fancy a change in job. The only problem is, and this is the reason why i'm posting the link, is I have no idea what I want to do. (Main skills are communication, problem solving, process improvement and hard working)

Therefore, what do all you lot do, is it good pay and most importantly, do you find it rewarding.

Discuss....

That's one of the problems. A contract was lost and work is thin on the ground

I run my own letting agents, and would recommend it. Buy in or start up afresh, own boss, hassles with staff but get paid well if you are good, get to PH when its quiet.

I could never work for someone else, Im unemployable. Too set in my ways, quiet inflexable, its nice being a big ameba in a small smudge.
Pleased Im making my own way, hate the govt and its taxes on small business but enjoy the benefits.

Just dont set up near me - please! (im very competitive as its food from my babes mouths and petrol for my porsche )

Estate agents is also good for a laugh - Brother does that.

Depends what your motivation is I think.
Money?
Job satisfaction?

What about teaching? I'm sure Uni's/Colleges/Business Schools are hungry for people with experience of the real world in what is a relatively new area for them.
The money probably isn't the best, but you'd get the job satisfaction of teaching without having to deal with immature school age toe-rags.

Strongly recommend working in the finance sector. Not many opportunities in this world to make vast sums of money without being self employed but that is one industry where rewards can be life changing sums of money.

But money isn't everything and I think you'd find working in such a challenging sector with very talented people around you can be good fun, if hard work. Sounds like your skill set is what the major banks are crying out for too.
