Help from career experts..Would a career change to programming or supply chain management a good move now?

We Answered:

Hello there. I read every inch of your ever so detailed question because I know I can help you out. I have a good friend who also completed an engineering degree. Don't fret about the call center job. You gotta do what you gotta do. Since you are so technically inclined, my first impulse, is that you are likely not fit to be self-employed (running own business), as business people generally have little patience for this kind of work, and are naturally inclined to outsource it.

What I would do, is, since you already have a low paying job, take a step up, and find one in the field you are MOST interested in. Checkout ERP, CRM, and ECOMMERCE. Decide what interests you most.

Then, take a look at the market, and then decide what you want to specialize in (and you should specialize).

Decide WHERE to learn this (many courses are available).

Work for someone else in the field to understand exactly how the production process works.

Decide if you are happy with this firm or want to switch.

Once you have enough experience, decide if you would rather work for yourself.

Weigh the pros, benefits, and cons; then make a final decision.

32 is still young.

What is the best way to make a career change from retail management to office management?

We Answered:

I did exactly this--except I had only ten years of the retail management. I actually started out in the offices of a retail organization. It is a tough ladder to climb, but can be done. I went out of my way to teach myself the latest programs, methods,etc to familiarize myself with these things. Reason being...even if I only used a little on that first job, it was something I could add to my resume. Since then, and ten years later...my niche is in marketing now. Getting the admin job is no longer a problem and I can target where I can go.

The bad news is you will probably have to take a pay cut to start out. I did, but I still don't regret it. The tradeoff is more time at home and a normal schedule. At the time, I travelled for my job and it was like heaven to be at home.

Good luck.
