    Im a bit stuck in my career and want a change desperately.
    I'm out of school nearly 20 years and working in the catering industry.
    It has been good to me so far financially but I don't find it fulfilling anymore, I also hate the hours.
    I'm very confused as to what career to choose as I don't want to study something I won't get a good job out of.
    I love the outdoors but worry about employment and wages in this area.
    So what should I be looking at?
    It will have to be a part time course
    What are the top 5 industries for employment and reasonable pay?
    Thanx.

    I have been in your shoes and I know what it feels like to have a career that is not fulfilling. Last year I was going to give up my job despite of recession and good pay. I eventually didn't as it turned out that there was much more behind my decision. I did not figure it out myself. I went to a really good life coach. You see there are certain reasons why some jobs are good for us and some just do not feel right. I stayed in this company but now I understand why and I know how to enjoy the job. I am not saying that this will be the case for you. We are all different. In my case it saved me a silly move that I would have made otherwise. It felt really scary facing that decision and a new career choice is never easy.
    I would advise coaching as it did the trick for me. I didn't feel I was on my own with the dilemma :) PM if you want any more info or sth. Good luck.
