Wanda Said:40 and looking for career change and cant make up mind?We Answered:As the author of "Think Like an Interviewer: Your Job Hunting Guide to Success," a college instructor, and someone who has been forced to retrain, I can relate to your situation.
This recession, which I happen to feel is actually a depression, has been tough on many people in fields from A to Z. But one that has reaped the benefits of this downturn is auto mechanics! And that's because many people are fixing-up their old and existing cars in order to get more life out of them. In...
Laurie Said:I'm 50 and wanting to change career from retail/management to real estate sales.How to begin?We Answered:First take a look at what is (or is not) going on in your local real estate market. Unfortunately, the real estate market nationwide (with very few exceptions) is in the toilet right now. I was in the business for a very long time and still have a lot of friends still in the business (barely) - these are people who have been very successful and they are now looking for other employment because they can't pay the bills. Plus, as...
Darryl Said:My question is this. I am a single 33 year old female. I have not had a real date in 3 years. What gives?We Answered:You have to consider this: what type of image are you projecting to the current pool of available guys?
If you come across as a career driven person then most guys are going to turn away from that because they know they can't compete with a career. In this economy having a good job can be more important than a stable relationship. So that is a factor to consider, guys know that they can't compete with...
Bernard Said:If you are making a career change to Marketing, do you need to start from a entry level position?We Answered:I was doing translation from French to English on a contractual basis for a marketing firm and they asked me to translate the idea behind a french positioning statement for a company.

Brandy Said:At 48 is it possible to change career and become an Asp.Net Developer?We Answered:Nothing stopping you from a career change as long as you have realistic expectations. For example, if your sales career was paying you $100K, don't expect to start in a new field at the same rate. Look at what others in the field are getting for starting salary and base any job prospects on that.
As for learning ASP.Net, this really depends on the individual. Certainly it is easier if you know another development language to start, but it isn't required. You'll want...

Alfred Said:Accountant or IT career which is easier to learn?We Answered:Well the technology field is continually changing. Whereas with Accounting I guess since you are in Australia you are already learning the "international" rules of accounting so you wouldn't have to leap over that milestone when you come to as people in the US. In Accounting after passing a certification exam, you often still have to go to training and cover a certain amount of "CPEs" to show you are continually keeping up with slight changes to the financial/tax reporting changes.
I feel accounting needs less ongoing study than...

I gave up and switched to accounting. Now Im bored.?We Answered:If you want to be an actuary you need to be a math major with an emphasis is statistics. Actuaries actually have to pass tests for level proficiency so a degree in accounting won't do much.
Sorry, either continue on your path and be a CPA or switch back to math and...
Marc Said:Im an adult with no career goals, no drive, no passion...how do I change my mindset?We Answered:You first need to change your thinking and beliefs. You seem to have a lot self-doubt and you are ultimately limiting yourself. You feel that you are "at the end of your line" because you don't have the right career? This is a very self-defeating statement. Change your mindset first. You are capable of succeeding in your desired career. You are depressing yourself. Go after your dream. Don't let a class or subject stop you! You really think successful people had the perfect...

Then gone to college for 4 years of Computer Science and in the mean time, played every game since DOnley Kong.
Then when you graduate you have to work 90 hours a week until you burn out at age 25 and retire to a career at Starbucks.

Grace Said:What job opportunities await an individual with membership to the California Bar JD and an additional Ed.D.?We Answered:Find out which states let you sit for their bar exam without having gone to an ABA approved school if you are looking to practice law. But there's no way you can practice in CA without having gone to a school approved by CA, and it sounds like you didn't. That means using your degree to impress people or in some quasi legal sense. Maybe a paralegal position or legal assistant position in a firm that does international law?? Good luck!Chris Said:Best...
Roberto Said:Where can I find a good career aptitude test?We Answered:I'm a freshman in college with the same problem as you. There seems to be a lot of pressure on students to know exactly where they're going and what they want to do. Most career aptitude tests aren't free, unfortunately, but I found mymajors.com to be a lot of help. It's the same principle, only they also tell you what you might like in a major. All you have to do to get your report is fill out a bunch of email addresses (I just used some old ones.)

Victoria Said:career change for a 35 year old. good or bad choice?We Answered:Best advice is to do broadcasting or film on the side while you keep your "day job" as we like to say. Both of these crafts are hands on...which means that you will have to start part time and get the experience to work your way up. And, YES, you WILL take a hit in income!

Natalie Said:Career Change: Accountant or Paralegal?We Answered:As for the accounting route you have to ask yourself do you and numbers get along. Many times accountants have to add up and add up again balances and reconcile. For example, a cash account, if the books say there is $56,304.30 but the audit says there is only $45,493.49 then you will have to figure out which balance is correct, maybe neither. During audit season from say February to April you can expect 10-12 days and often weekends. The good thing is you get paid for these hours. CPA's have learned the art...
Nellie Said:Career change to Accounting?We Answered:No. You are not too old. Not for accounting, anyway. If you said medical school, I'd say yes, you're too old. Not accounting. You don't say how many credits short of a B.A. you are, but that's the first step. Then, sign on with a reputable CPA firm, start studying for the CPA and getting used to the workplace. There's lots of assistance available for you at these CPA firms. Try to go with a medium sized firm, instead of a very small or very large firm. You'd get 'lost' at a big firm and...

This could be anything from a clinical lab scientist working with viral cultures to a head researcher on HIV.

They'll tell you that you can walk out the door making 55k or higher, but you're better to set lower expectations and get your career started.

Laurie Said:I've been thinking about changing my major. Where can I find some career aptitude tests to figure out what to?We Answered:You need to consider why you want to be a doctor. Is it because you want wealth? If so, don't bother. The strenuous years of education will take a toll on you and you won't do well if you're not interested in the sciences.

The most important thing here, is your friend's attitude and well-being. I think you are right in saying he could be that 50 year old guy in the mother's basement. If he gets more and more used to doing nothing,...

Ken Said:Career Counseling help?We Answered:I would strongly encourage you NOT to select "teacher". Having been one, it's all about customer service when you do it full time. Sure, you're your own boss, but you don't set your own hours. And when the students start complaining about their grades and why did you assign that homework...Ugh!
You sound like a good fit for mediator or attorney. Something where your skills and knowledge would be called for by the customer rather than demanded (as it is in most teaching environments). With mediator and attorney, people assume you are the expert, so they appeal...

Get the REAL picture of what a teaching career involves, not the one portrayed on news programs or in the movies. Don't make the mistake many people do by thinking since they went to school themselves, they know what teaching is like. Be sure this is the career for you before you...
Joe Said:My girlfriend can't find a job....what should I do? Am I being insensitive?We Answered:You probably aren't going to like this answer, but this is probably a sneak peek of the rest of your life if you choose to stay with her. You are very frustrated. I would hate for you to spend the rest of your life this frustrated. Maybe you should move on. One of two things will happen. Either you will go on, meet another woman and have a great life, or she will wake up and realize that she needs to...

Denise Said:Thinking about a career change - IT Recruitment to Movie Agent?We Answered:The saying "its not what you know but who you know" holds true here. I would definitely not discourage someone who wants to change careers but in order to change industry you will need to get connected.
First it would be a good idea to get a job with a agency firm in LA then learn from them and eventually get the experience to do this on your own. You will probably not get a chance wot represent someone unless you have some related experience....

Katherine Said:Is Counselling a good career to go into for me ?We Answered:You can go to college and obtain the relevent NVQ's so that should't be too expensive for you.
Counselling is a fairly tough career and you need to be in the possession of some pretty powerful qualities, strengths and skills.
Your work will be to actually "Listen" to peoples problems and ofering to help in various ways. Asking "open" questions, refering your clients to supporting organisations etc etc.
The real problem is that you can easily become too involved, you can often feel the need to take control personally, it is...

Fernando Said:What has happened to etiquette in the business world?We Answered:You know, what you described can be perceived differently.
1) The family member had a point in what they said, but at the same time, the situation can be perceived differently.
2) If the agency had no ettiquette, why did they keep your profile on file for 6 months. Then calling you, when a position came up they thought you were suitable for. That sounds very professional to me. As they could have discarded your file.
The fact they called YOU, over the possible hundreds of candidates, who may have been to...

Yvonne Said:I am a doctor. I would want to change my career &train in SAP. Is it difficult to change from medicine to IT?We Answered:well a SAP training is what they (headhunters/recruiters) offer Bachelor graduates as a one year follow-up on their studies.
this should indicate effort involved for those already intimate with buisness tech.
As a doctor you should surely have the intelligence, but if you dont have an IT background expect the learning curve to be additionally steep. (nothing like medicine, though)

Angel Said:What kind of jobs would best suit a dog owner?We Answered:Working 9-5 is reasonable for a dog owner. I am in school and usually leave my house around 7:30 am and am home usually by 2:30. Some days I work in the evenings so I walk my dog and then go to work for 4-5 hours. These days are longer for my dog, but because I walk him before I go to school and between school and work and then play with him after work, he is fine with it. On the days I don't...

"These alterations make animals more appealing, easier to manage and less dangerous; they also eliminate unwanted, and sometimes embarrassing, ''uncivilized'' sexual behaviors and other biological functions that are out of place in a society that is not made for animals. These amputations are strictly for the benefit of the owner. They serve no therapeutic or medical purpose. They are not surgeries in the true sense of the word."

They may be explosives-sniffing dogs. They may not have been trained for either specialty, but if somebody's pants get wet when the dog comes around that'll take care of it,too.

Bonnie Said:i want change my career as a civil engineer to an electrical and electronic engineering?We Answered:Not to be disrespectful. I don't really consider this a dangerous predicament because every Engineering Degree is similar in a lot of ways for their uses on maths, science, applying yourself to theory and designing things. So, with that being said. Going from Civil Engineering to Electrical/Electronic Engineering will be a great transition for your new degree because of your back round information you'll have already have in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (especially if that's your engineering interest). I say if that's what you want to...

With the lack of available jobs, I have started doing some subcontracting in opensource CFD. It pays a little better, but most of my hours are unbillable because they are spent learning the software. I enjoy my work and think its exciting, but I would like to work less than 60hr per week.

Carolyn Said:What Will Incent Topix to Change their Unmoderated Forums?We Answered:I use to post on Topix now and then. One of the most annoying people to post there has to be a person known as Gord who insists that the Greenhouse Effect is false and is a mass conspiracy because he doesn't understand the differences between different types of heat transfer and insists that the colder atmosphere can't warm warmer land surfaces. He seems to have a lot of followers in that forum. I do think that moderated forums, however, are quite a lot more 'adult' than unmoderated ones.Felicia Said:I...

I am even applying to jobs which specifically say "we would consider applicants from a recruiting background who would like to move into HR" and still nothing!

Darlene Said:Could I make a career change from business to writing?We Answered:If you wish to get into writing you're going to need to build a solid portfolio and yes, get more education if you do not have a Bachelor's degree.
Speaking as a professional writer the field is highly competitive and challenging to get into unless you have solid credentials and the portfolio to match. If you are able to land a full-time job as a copywriter, journalist, or technical writer you would do just fine. However those jobs are difficult to come by and most writers typically do independent...

Charles Said:Functional or Chronological Resume, which should I use?We Answered:I think if you wish to move to a different sector of work you should use a hybrid between a targeted CV/Resume and a functional one.
The targeted CV/Resume is where skills are highlighted that are desirable for a particular job and focuses on communicating specific information related to one particular field or sector. It is best for use if you know the company well owing to research or to reply to a specific advert that details skills required by the post-holder.
The chronological CV/Resume is time bound, giving a...

Shirley Said:Possible career future with dogs [please read]?We Answered:Well you are certainly going about getting the career you think you would like in the right way.
At this stage I would add, keep your options open, think laterally and also think 'humans', so things like coaching and mentoring, you need to get facts and training across to people in a way they will understand............and also that they 'buy into', so it belongs to them, otherwise the real training never gets done ( the practise at home).
When you are training dogs ( or other animals) there is always an owner/carer and...

Marion Said:career change?We Answered:It is time for a conversation between the two of you. O.K. he has had his own business for 14 years. He has stayed afloat all these years. What could be wrong? That is what you need to talk about.
1) What is he doing differently?
2) Is he bidding jobs too high? Or bidding jobs too low to get the job & then can't make any money on it?

Lonnie Said:I need a change of career! Any ideas?We Answered:This is a tough one. IT contractor in London? There probably aren't many jobs that will pay that much unless you go to work in the City (which you may already). Otherwise you need to train to become a doctor or something. You probably have a lot of money saved. Can you think of something you might actually enjoy doing? Now might be a good time to take a break for a few years and go back to univ. and learn something interesting. IT contracting is all about the money. Only...
Vernon Said:I need a career change. Strengths/weaknesses below. What would you recommend?We Answered:Becoming a teacher would be a bad idea for you. It is the most political job you could choose. Patience and tact are the most important personality traits for being a teacher. Think of each student as a political animal who will make your life miserable if they smell any personality weakness or defect and who will rat on you to their parents who will demand your head if there is a scintilla of truth to their allegations.
On the other hand, you should try running...

It is my job to keep the patient comfortable on every level, whether physical, psychological, or spiritual. My favorite part is when someone dies and I know I have given them the best death possible.

Dana Said:I'm looking for a career change into real estate agent?We Answered:It depends on the market in the area you live. It's hard as hell to get started, as most of you business will come from word of mouth. You'll work your butt off and it will take months before you sell your first house (usually). But once you get a few under your belt, and build up your clientele, then it's a good career to be in, as long as the market doesn't dump. Make sure you have another source of income while you're getting your license and getting...

College here on international student fees can be scarily expensive. A friend of mine, who's Irish, was away for 6 months in the 3 years prior to admission...

Emily Said:Question about writing a cover letter for an Odd Career Change...?We Answered:Making a career change is never easy, even at "lower" levels of an organization. In this particular case, you're in good luck because the requirements for an Admin position are usually fairly low (not that it's an easy job).

Cindy Said:I'm looking for a career change?We Answered:I think you could start a small business in catering or insurance or anything you like but make sure you'll love your job. If whatever you do makes you happy, it doesn't matter about the money or what anybody else thinks. Managing or owning a restaurant does stink because it's basically a full time job so I agree that you should not do that. However, have you ever considered a bakery? It really depends on your finances but those are extremely popular with tourists and locals if your prices...
Tonya Said:Career Change?We Answered:First of all, you are not stupid for thinking this. You bring up some good points about the demands on your body as well as the fact that owning a business is a lot of hard work and stress.
Any career change is a challenge and taking the first step is difficult, but it can bring with it many rewards. Your experience would be great at some place like Home Depot or a garden center in your community - some place where you could use your years of experience in landscaping to educate other people.

I quit the job to work with youth with mental health issues. It was an immediate 50 percent pay cut and working longer hours. That was almost 9 years ago. I was scared I was being a complete idiot and ruining a promising career. It was one of the best decisions of my life. I will never make the money computer stuff offered. On the other hand that career would never have given me the opportunity to make a...

Some people know passionately what they want to become and are willing to put up with whatever experience they need to to reach their goal. Do you feel the same way about becoming a pharmacist?

The PA & the pharmacist are the most highly paid. However, you will need to pick a career that suits your abilities, rather than income. Not everyone is cut out to be a nurse, or a PA or a pharmacist. Since you have not even started, it is hard to predict how you will do. Start off with the basic...

That said, do be careful about where you get your degree....

Joseph Said:Changing career path right before graduating. help? anyone?We Answered:Everyone encounter a career crisis in their 30's. When you started a job by whatever you studied in school. Yours just happen earlier. Be aware, currently the job you love might not be the job you have forever. So, you can change your career later on, you don't have to be forever in the same career.

Laura Said:When changing careers in a resume?We Answered:i just switched careers, too, with little experience in my future field but a good bit in my past one. for one, i would include an Objective section at the top of your resume as a way of reiterating your interest in photography and not medicine.
for my resume, i've leaned heavily on bulleting the specific job-related responsibilities from my internships. just as a matter of space, it has cut out a past job and filled the page with more industry-specific responsibilities.

You seem like a compassionate, loving, giving, person, and your wife is not. I strongly believe if she loved you she would seek counseling, and want to be good to you, and for you. If you trust her enough that she will not turn your life upside down again, and you want to get back with her, you are going to have to forgive her for what she did in the past.

It seems any career change must be researched carefully,...

Johnnie Said:changing career?We Answered:Like the person above said, LVN (or LPN) title differs by state but it is essentially the same job. This is a good way to start. You will be required to do some science classes, for example Anatomy and Physiology. In Northern California they have LVN's do the combined Anatomy-Physiology which is a one semester class. Some of them do not require you to be a CNA so you could check to see if you need it. If required check to see if community colleges in your area offer. You could also check with the Red Cross....

Lillie Said:Is it too late to increase my intellegance at 20 years old?We Answered:It's never too late to increase intelligence. But you have to know that intelligence is nothing without wisdom.

Arnold Said:what career do you recommend? i suck in mathematics but i'm extremely good at letters.?We Answered:A thought on math and Computer Science: Both universities I've attended had degrees in APPLIED Computer Science, which had most (though not all) the really hard math taken out (for example, nothing beyond Calculus 1 was required, and one could substitute Business Calculus instead, which is LOT easier--I've had both). Such a degree might be available to you.
Also, you might consider some sort of Business-C.S. hybrid. For example, one of the schools I attended had a Business degree with a concentration in...

There are also software programs you can buy as well as searching the internet for templates. If you want to do it on your own you can google "resumes samples" or choose the job your currently in say for example customer service, just google "customer service resume samples" and you can look at millions of resumes for wording, format, etc. I write resumes as a side job too, so if you are comfortable you can email...
Deborah Said:other careers for teachers?We Answered:I know several teachers who have left their school systems in order to pursue careers as pharmaceutical company reps. The pay is excellent, and the job requires the rep to teach doctors and nurses about the company's new medications. The company provides thorough training. Reps are needed all over the country, in both urban and rural areas, and you meet and interact with fascinating people. I've never met a pharmaceutical rep that didn't love his / her job, but there must be one somewhere who doesn't.Tony Said:Other careers for teachers?We Answered:The most obvious career choices...
Sara Said:To be a magazine editor, what degree would suit me best?We Answered:if being a magazine editor is a career path you really intend to venture into in the future, then your best bet is journalism. you can do this as a major or a minor, if the degree you want to do is a joint honours, or just as a single honours. media production focuses mainly on tv and film production, practical work such as using tv cameras and how to film a documentry. so i don't think this would suit your needs. on the other hand, if you...
Mario Said:Have you been through a midlife crisis?We Answered:You have a long way to go in life, and there will be so many twists and turns. Anything is possible. The economy is tough right now, but switching careers might not be a bad thing or impossible. Everyone has room in their budget. I switched careers about 7 years ago. It's a tougher job but I'm making more money now. The good thing is, I know I can find a job in my previous career if needed.

Miriam Said:I want to change careers and go into nursing. I have a High School Diploma and very little college...?We Answered:Don't waste your time going for Medical Assisting. While people think it's closely related, it's really not. It's much more beneficial to become a Certified Nursing Assistant first, because you need to hold your CNA certification while in nursing school.
Many people go back to school after 30. I was a little late, too, also with 3 kids. It was tough!
My advice would be to start with a two-year Associates Degree in Nursing program, available at many community colleges....
Misty Said:I am a Social worker and want to change careers and teach. Should I consider being a sub first?We Answered:You should know something about substitute teachers... some of them have been subbing for years thinking they have their foot in the door. Trouble is, good substitutes can be hard to find, and some administrators would rather hire a teacher from outside the district to keep that good substitute available. Not fair, is it? But that's the reality of how some administrators practice. My recommendation, if you can afford to quit your job, why not go...

Yes to all the above.
Q: Do you think people are more likely to pursue post-secondary education today as compared to when you attended school? Why or why not?
The fact that there "are" more people today indicates that "more" people are attending today than when I was attending. Yes.

Paul Said:Should I choose a career change?We Answered:If you truly want to be involved in product development, that's the route you should go. I wouldn't worry about whether you think you measure up or not... let the market decide that. If you will talk to 1,000 (that's not a typo) interviewers, I'm convinced you'd get several offers. So start the resume and cover letter process and be willing to relocate to achieve your goal. Try sending out 20 resumes/letters daily... in just five days you'll have contacted 100 companies. Follow-up with a phone call; if...
Veronica Said:stuck on choosing career, graphic design, dental hygienist or accountant?We Answered:I'm a Certified Public Accountant. After taking the Myers-Brigg Type Indicator assessment, I decided on accounting as my major. The test indicated that accounting is an area where my skills and interest lie. I already knew that I wanted to work in an area of business, but I didn't want to major in general business. I liked the flexibility accounting offered. With an accounting degree, you can work in almost any area of business. A general business degree, usually, isn't enough to secure a position as an accountant. Additionally,...

Roberta Said:Climate Change at a cross roads.. 71 degrees in Syracuse Today?We Answered:Of course it's worth considering, along with the opinions of thousands of legitimate scientists who continue to say the same thing. "Tipping points" are definitely something all of us need to be concerned about. Another 1 or 2 degree temperature increase in the Siberian tundra could and most likely would release billions of cubic feet of methane gas trapped there under the frozen ground. Release of this much methane gas into the atmosphere would be catastrophic for humanity and, unfortunately, all other living creatures....

You have to learn and know programs such as Adobe Audition, Sound Forge, and other things such as how to mic guests, the different types of mics, etc. You might be able to volunteer at a college radio station and learn from someone there, but I had to go to college for four years to be a radio news anchor and producer. Broadcasting schools aren't worth the money, to tell...
Alma Said:I am 24 and considering a career change. How do I start on the track to becoming a Veterinarian or Zoologist?We Answered:The best thing for you to do would be to contact various veterinary schools and find out what their personal requirements are. It is not unlike preparing for medical school and you will find yourself in classes with a lot of those premed students.
Unless you want to deal with microbes, you really don't want to be a zoologist. Most zoology programs have been absorbed into biology. If you really want to work with animals, then...

You have to have something of yourself to leave behind besides a great impression. As far as questions to ask go, simple things, like: "What do you feel are the qualifications needed for this job?"

Melanie Said:Cover letter for resume help?We Answered:Your cover letter is a chance for you to introduce yourself, highlight some achievements or qualities that may not be on your resume, and draw a connection between how your skills will match the organization's needs. Since you are changing careers, it's even more important, because your resume alone may not tell the story of why you'd be a perfect candidate for them. Say a little bit about why you're changing - maybe this non-profit really inspires you, or you found your true calling doing some volunteer work, etc.

I would take out "Wanting to start my own management in the catering industry I feel I can gain sufficient experience from you that would give me the vital skills needed, from different areas of the business." - aren't you saying you're hoping to get the experience from them and then leave, start your own place, and perhaps become competition? Why would they want to train you to have you go elsewhere? When I write cover letters I always try to say why...
Anne Said:How can I explain leaving my field and working in sales then going back to my field of human services ?We Answered:I would say honesty is the best policy, your first sentence sounds good to me. Just leave out anything that sounds defensive like the rest of what you wrote.
Say simply "I'd rather make a difference in the lives of others"
Good Luck.Lori Said:what do you think of my cover letter to curves?We Answered:I would let them know about your own weight loss success! It's no bragging if its true!...
Jo Said:Cover letter help! I babble too much!?We Answered:A career change can always be difficult to start with. But since you have experience in the same field and seem to have a real passion for it, it will be easier. Babbling in a cover letter will put off the interviewer, so try and be as concise as possible while at the same time do not leave out important points that may help you get the job.
Be honest and let them know why you are passionate about the position you are seeking. If you feel your style of writing is...

Judith Said:is this a good CV, from which is the best way to choice a career path. what sort of jobs am i suited too.?We Answered:Sunrose - I work in recruitment also, and it is incorrect that your education must go at the top - there is no hard and fast rule about this. If you're a recent graduate, so you have a good education but very little work experience, then yes, your education should probably go first, but in Russell's case I wouldn't advise this, as his recent experience is more relevant to the positions he is applying...

Carmen Said:when someone decides to have a career change, do they usually Have to go back to uni?We Answered:Unless you are simply changing jobs, a career change requiring a degree would need a return to university. Where else are you going to get a degree (and no, those 3-day internet degrees from far-off <and unheard of> universities mean nothing to any employer). Your biggest problem would be overcoming the ageism within your second career base.

Franklin Said:Have you ever had a work day that was so bad, that you seriously though about changing careers?We Answered:I think we've all had those days. Everyone makes mistakes.

- Create your own web site online, and use it as an example on your work. Put the URL on your resume.

- Intern at a company that designs web sites. If they won't pay you anything, do it for free.
Good luck!...
Ramon Said:I want to make a career change and Im thinking about the real estate industry?We Answered:Pros: Flexible schedule, you are basically your own boss, money is good if you are good.

But it is really an awesome experience to have someone's eyes light up when you show them to house...

Harvey Said:I want to change my career path from software to CISCO, possible?We Answered:I have seen people make that switch with 10 years in software, so it's certainly not too late and a bachelors will do you well in any IT field really. With that said, whether it's worth it or not is entirely up to you.
With software your career is largely limited by yourself and your company. You can, yourself, build software independently and sell it on the side, and starting your own company isn't such a hassle. Networking doesn't really lend itself to...

Accounting especially - because of the scandalous opportunities that are out there. You're going to have to prove yourself worthy first before going into accounting.

Katherine Said:How much can a childminder earn in a year (uk)?We Answered:I haven't been a childminder but I employed one when my daughter was small. I seem to remember that they start you off as a kind of probation with only one child and see how you do, and the hourly rate is quite low. Childminders don't qualify for the minimum wage, or they didn't back then (six years ago).

Generally it is the math heavy PhD students (physics, computer science, math, engineering, etc) that jump ship to finance, and they end up doing math for big financial firms. Can you do math? If...

Graduating from college as an english major, i started my career as a writer. Now i work for an internet marketing company, which has nothing to do with writing (hardly anything).

What makes things confusing is that most states (California being a notable exception) have no regulation of who may be a paralegal; the selection of candidates is subject to the needs and requirements of the individual attorney doing the hiring.
Be aware, however, that earning a paralegal certificate makes you...

Gregory Said:I need a career change, but what?We Answered:I'd start with suggesting that you work on your AA.
Check back with your old college & see what you need to do.
You may see if they have a class which offers a battery of assessment tests (Myers-Briggs is the big name & mini versons are online) they will help point you in the right direction.
Also, you may want to think about your "transferable" skills. If you were a foreman, you know about managing people, ordering supplies, working with vendors/subcontractors - these are all useful in other areas.
Best of luck!...
