New career any ideas - educational background

Hi There

Was looking to move into the financial advisor work path. However after reviewing the market and the amount of experianced people out of work. This does not seem viable.

My background is teaching. Cert ed, A1 assessor and v1 verifier awards. Ideally i would like to set up on my own but again doesnt seem viable in the current climate.

Any ideas for a career change?
Regards
Adam

    How about Instructional designer, plenty of ex teachers in that profession, buoyant job market at the moment, permie roles between 35-60k and day rates from £200-500 depending on experience and skillet.

    Going on your thought processes then nothing at all in anything is viable because in every field there are lots of experienced people out of work.

    Sorry but you have entirely the wrong mentality to set up on your own. You've admitted defeat and run up the flag before you've even started.
