Career advice
2 Answers
I'm in my 30s with a degree, post graduate degree and great career under my belt - but I'm deeply unhappy in the industry I work in as a whole (low pay, no ethics, future is uncertain). I want to find out what other jobs I might be able to do with my skills and qualifications (I can't afford financially to retrain, unless on the job). I just can't seem to find career advice anywhere (all geared towards school leavers etc). Is there career advice available for professionals in my position?
