Career advice, what to do..?
Discussion
Hi All,
Have been with my current employer for around 6 years now and work a 4 on 4 off shift pattern days and nights (not ideal but fairly good salary and relativity easy role).
Things have started to stagnate with regard to promotion opportunity simply due to the culture and size of the business, I am therefore finding myself in a situation of wanting to explore new opportunities and a way in which I can develop my own skills and qualifications.
Every shift is near enough the same and does not provide enough of a challenge, I do not feel I am learning or developing anymore. Being in my late 20's I always saw these years as being about learning and getting as qualified as you possibly can. I have been thinking about a total change of career and/or studying in my spare time on my 4 days off).
Any had a similar situation making a complete change and How did you do it? Any regrets?
Looking back is there one qualification you wish you had studied?

I work in aviation in an operations support role. I think the main issues are the fact that the job is so niche and have been finding it difficult to apply my skill set in other roles.
I am passionate about the industry but seems very difficult to progress currently and therefore considering options and how to increase my skill set.
I currently have a foundation degree, looking to complete my final year is an option I am considering.

It certainly is a very difficult industry to progress in, its so unique and the skills just aren’t transferable or considered by other industries it would seem. I do have a real interest in the industry but I think it is time to move on and start again keeping aviation as a hobby maybe.
Time to sit down and consider options
Good job I get 4 days off at a time to study/train.
