Default Getting into something completely different!!!

I've moaned about my job before like Victor Meldrew in the past over this so appologies for this

Has anyone walked out of their job after donkeys years and gone into something completely different and new?

How did you do it? Did you think you'd succeed or fail?

any regrets at all????

Been in manufacturing for the past 15 years doing Buying and i friggin hate it.

Would love to try something new - would not have to rake in a fortune but
as long as i had 25k i could get by.

Any experiences?

Appologies again - i know this has been done to death


Cheers

Ahhh so your not self employed then - who do you work for if you dont mind me asking and how potential earnings (if you dont mind me asking)

I used to work for parceline. i earned roughly £250+ a week.
you work for your 38 hours but any over time is paid for. I think its time and a half. I used to woork my saturdays altho it was only 6 hours but it was worth it to bump up the wages.
I only left due to a divorce and moved to cumbria too far from a depot, so i went on the buses.
If i had the chance, (i might do one day)Id deffinatly go back to them.
You can work francishe if you want. heres a link, click on careers

If you sighn up franchise for 5 year you get a brand new van. Honestly mate, its worth it.
