New Career needed!!!

domestic_goddess

I am 30 and have two young children and am so bored with my job, I work in customer services part time evenings and although it is a good wage I just want to do something different.............
Trouble is I just dont know what. I didn't go to uni (did get a GNVQ from college though) so most career changes would be out straight away. I even thought about starting my own business but have no ideas at the moment on what would do well in my area!

Does anyone know of any websites or anything that could help me with some advice.

the resource they use in scottish high schools is: http://www.planitplus.net/careerzone/careerometer/

but you can talk to a career advisor in your local area- they have a computer programme you do where they ask all sorts of questions -like do you like reading, do you enjoy other people, do you like the outdoors etc. and come up with a list for you. it was free for me (we have careers scotland here)

after that learn direct are a good place to hunt down courses.
good luck.

Firstly, you have to know what what your interests are and what you really want to do. I have met many people who did not go to the university and are doing very well for themselves.
https://www.netmums.com/coffeehouse and https://www.mumandworking.co.uk may give you an idea.

I am in the same boat, i am well paid but to be honest I am doing the wrong job. office life is so boring, so polictical and life passes me by outside the window. problem is the jobs i'd like to do are low paid and with a family planned and a need to buy a house, it aint gonna happen.unless when i hit 40 i have a midlife crisis
