new career advice

[r1tey]

Hi I'm 42 worked as a desk based account manager in BT for 16 years then swapped to being a support worker in mental health 4 years ago, I'm looking to learn a new skill or trade I know its a very general question but can anyone recommend any ideas to me, I could spend a couple of grand on training if required, just fancy a new challenge

thanks

What would you really love to do?

Are you close to the essential competencies required?

If not, could you train the gap out?

What went wrong with the last change?

As above really, probably need some more detail to help with suggestions.

At a generic level, people always need haircuts and plumbers.

I've found the mental health work to be a very isolated lonely job, I did enjoy it for a while but I now miss having more social contact

As for what I'd love to do that's the problem really I've never known what I want to do, I guess as long as it has a social side I'd be happy!!

I'm not overly practical but I'm sure I could learn. I seem to be good with people if that helps lol
