Hi all

Looking at career change opportunities that will be a bit more fulfilling and stimulating
Currently in a classic bullst large corporate role where paid well for doing pretty dull admin work.

Looking to find something that;
1. Requires some re-training/new learning to provide stimulation and act as a barrier to entry (don’t just want another generic type role that in reality anybody switched on could do)
2. Is a good area - in demand, potential to earn decent income
3. Doesn’t require years of re-training / degree level stuff as given age by the time I come out the other side I won’t be far off planning/thinking about semi retirement (I.e. pilot, lawyer, barrister would all be great but require too much retraining)

Looking at some areas of tech/software/IT as have a logical, analytical mind/background but don’t have too much knowledge.

Want to pick a good area to focus on as conscious there are lots of dead end roles (IT support ticks box 1 and 2 but not sure it’s as strong an area as it used to be)

Any pointers or experience shared much appreciated

Logistics? Not sure how you retrain for it but it’s in demand and reasonably well paid.
