Utter career change
Was a a lawyer. Got close to jumping off a building. Really
client of mine offered me massive career change. Drain surveys, inspections, repairs. And is paying for all the courses.
never been so happy in my life in fluorescent jacket and hard hat instead of a suit and nightmare clients. And getting covered in **** instead of listening to people spout it. And obviously angry people at the same time
Only reason for the thread, if you think you are stuck with what you do and cannot get out, you actually can. I feel human. Bacon sandwich with the lads then crack on. And everyone one of them is so much nicer than the pretentious ****** and judges I have had to deal with

Good for you mate 👍
I’m a gas engineer and I’ve been in my current job for 3 years, it’s chalk and cheese compared to my other employers. These want quality rather than quantity so you can take your time to do it properly, the tenants are great to talk with. Previous employers gave me stupid amounts of work because it’s all about the profit margin.....
another happy human being here 👍

Good for you
For me, it wasn't a change of career, but change of country that made the difference, but either way it's important to be happy with what you do as well as where you do it!

Life is to short and it hammered it home on a couple of occasions last year when two ex colleagues both passed away in their mid 60's after working up to 62, poor buggers only had 2 or 3 yrs of retirement till they passed, at least retiring at 55 gives you hopefully a good few yrs to kick back and relax.
