The nosiness in me causes me to check out people's profiles on here from time to time I notice that at least 2 of the people who are good at glitch finding work in IT. This makes me wonder could I work in IT? OH works in IT and the stuff he does is pretty technical and not of interest to me, however I've been thinking for some time I'd like to learn web design, perhaps start my own blog and if I found I'm good at this then do this for a living. Maybe this is just another of my fantasies that will never come to fruition or maybe it is possible, I'm not sure right now. Stress and lack of time prevent me from pursuing this further at present however if and when I manage to find a less stressful job this is something I'd like to pursue.

Currently I'm an accounts assistant and in the past I've worked with my inlaws who have their own accountancy business. I'd like to quit my job and work with them but they cannot afford to pay me a wage. MIL says I wouldn't be suited to this career because of my lack of social skills. I disagree that social skills are an essential element of being an accountant. She allows clients to drop round for a chat anytime they like and doesn't charge them for this. I wouldn't want this other than to discuss the accounts and they would need to make an appointment if it were me, I certainly wouldn't waste my time on social chit chat with them :eek: Are there any accountants on here who can advise about this?

Just pondering really what I should look to do for the future as I don't think I'll be in my current job much longer. I'm not handling it very well and had a big blow up with my boss on Friday My lack of people skills has always caused these type of problems for me in the workplace so I need to find something where I'm working alone. I remember someone on here suggesting cleaning but these jobs never reply to me when I apply. I get the feeling that at 44 a lot of employers consider me too old.

Sorry for all the rambling, my brain seems to go into overdrive first thing in the morning

I would say it depends on where you work, I work in a small practice where the majority of clients prefer either a relaxed or semi-formal working relationship so being sociable is necessary.
If you are planning on going it alone then I would imagine you will need some social skills in order to get & retain clients. However I'm sure there are probably firms that only have a formal relationship with clients, you would need to do a bit of research into local firms.

Good luck with whatever you decide

Thanks for clearing that up for me as I was confused with the term 'softest ever' showing when people post their shopping results and 'So Soft' as on a.com
