Retraining? What to do?

[kat2206]

Hi guys.

I'm a 44 year old sales rep, I work for a global company and earn a very good salary. I help my OH on the farm and life is good...however, I feel empty, if that's the right term to use?

I feel that I need/want to re-train into a different career but I know whatever's decide to do, if anything, it will mean having to leave my job and undertake years of training again.

I have always wanted to go into nursing but I'm just not sure what to do,by the time I qualify/graduate I'll be nearly 50 for goodness sake..but I just feel fulfilled by my current role or indeed the whole sales industry that I am in.

Any suggestions?

Is it you who keeps ringing me 8 times a day?

No, Mick it isn't haha. I don't sell to the general public, I work in field sales (B2B).

Midwife or undertaker - two professions where you will never be out of work

Isn't being a full time farmers wife an option Kat? ....

why not try jam/chutney making plus cakes &bread ad sell at your local farmers market ?
My hubby qualified as a shiatsu practioner it took three years but was done at weekends.

Kat is there a possibility of opening a small retail outlet on your farm?? .... Dee Sa, what a fab idea!! only perhaps kat you could sell your homemade goodies in your own farm shop????? ...how exciting!
