New Career
 

When we finally get to New Zealand I fancy a whole new career but don't know what i want to do. At present I run the financial side of our company and i'm bored of it there is no challenge in it anymore. I am a fully qualified Chef but don't fancy going back to that either.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Me I would do what I was trained to do so I could get my feet under the table and start earning, then I would be able to look around and decide which career path I fancied, you will need time to look around at the different options on offer and of course more importantly locations, too many people come to NZ and settle in the first place they land in. use your skills to your advantage first!

cheers

I know a couple of people here who have given up their previous careers and gone in to Real Estate sales. They prefer the flexibility it offers, but of course earnings can be pretty sporadic.

Hey Am Loolah

I have flexibility at moment I only really need to work one day a week but I don't most of the time I work 3-5 more out of boredom. The last few years have taught me that money is just not important to me anymore being happy within myself is. I think if I could do a job that makes me feel good within myself then I'd probably bounce from one end of NZ to the other :rofl:

Think I'm too honest to be an Estate Agent lol

Aw mate ! Have some smiley karma. :)

It's a tough one innit. Thinking what new direction to take.

What about volunteering with the SPCA or similar. Or summat to do with cats ?

Plod?

Prison service? Fooferfish loves his new career in corrections.

Fire service?

Or go to college to totally retrain in something like radiography?

Or google 'cmc markets nz' seeing as you have fiscal saavy..unlike me. Want to sell some?

How about becoming a Celebrant? You can marry people, do baby naming ceremonies, funerals etc, etc? Minus the funerals, you may find you'd be putting a smile on people's faces?:thumbsup:

Re: New Career
 

I do agree to some extent but my heart not in it anymore don't think it would be fair to the employer but it may not be so bad if I did it part time & retrained to do something else at same time

Re: New Career
 

Thanks Bevs I have thought about volunteering there is a service on the west coast where you give up 10 mins of your day to phone someone vunverable to have a chat & make sure they are ok & basically brighten there day. The cats would be good too I love my babies :wub:

Re: New Career
 

Plod & prison service no but fire service need volunteers. Radiography I have thought about this a few yrs ago when we took our son to a careers night at school it looked great. I will google cmc markets nz also

Cheeries ;)

Re: New Career
 

I retrained as a Teaching assistant and took a new career path into primary education. Was the best decision I have ever made, every day I can honestly say I love my job! Working with the kids certainly puts a smile on my face.

Re: New Career
 

Aww that's lovely :wub: I want to feel like that too

Re: New Career
 

Ever thought of opening or running a wee cafe?

Teaching young people or vulnerable people to cook - a long lost skill these days?

Doing something really cheesy within the tourist industry? Buy a big red bus and run Angela's Big Red Bus Tours of ..... (insert where you live) he he

Re: New Career
 

Have to admit, if I could afford the time without salary to re-train I would give serious thought to radiography. The big CT scanners absolutely fascinate me and I would like a job where you can make a difference for people!

Re: New Career
 

Rob made a complete change and trained as a Registered Nurse - he's now got a fab job he loves in mental health.
