Redundancy VS My Life

[venari]

And so it begins...

Officially being made redundant. Not even 30 yet and already considering a complete change in career.

I have plenty of transferable skills but I cant decide what the hell to do with my life.

Anyone got any tales of success they fancy sharing to inspire me?

Thanks

Um. No.

Drivers of decision will be around quality of life versus monetary income. Since you've provided neither, hard to ascertain whether swapping from one career to another would be good, bad or just plain improbable from a financial perspective.

Sorry to hear your woes though. Hope you get something sorted.

30 is a good age to change careers if you can suffer the initial income-drop. You're only 14 years into a 49 year working life.

Consider your strengths and weaknesses with objectivity and you might be surprised at where your future path lays.

Every redundancy or company collapse has resulted in my ending up in a better job. This won't be your last - embrace it.

I got made redundant in March this year, aged 32.
As a father of two kids, mortgage, bills etc. etc. I had to find another job immediately. My pay out wasn't much. I'd only been there 3.5 years.
I would have loved to throw my money at learning something vocational. Something hands-on. But I had no time and nowhere near enough money.
Redundancy sucks. But it can work in your favour. Your answer for the dreaded "Reason for leaving" question in interviews is perfect. You can either find another job and chuck your money at something fun, or live off it and do something you wanted to do - depending on how much that is.
Personally, I had two jobs lined up, accepted the better sounding of the two (and am doing really well in a whole new industry) and spooged the money on a DAS course and getting some of the house done up.

Have been made redundant 7 times over the years, last time wed am email from owners shutting us down, fri pm interview, fri evening job offer, sat am accepted by email, 2 hrs later sent cv into them, started next working day! ( at 60 yrs old) - so there is hope out there, .
But every time have been made redundant main objective was to get some money coming in for kids/mortgage etc. - didn't have an opportunity to try something different- after a few times is water off a ducks back. Everybodies situation is different

Had a major change of career at 33, resigned, travelled for 6 months, went back to college.

I used my brain though, didn't need an internet forum of strangers to tell me what to do.

Do what job you really fancy doing. Sit down and work out the numbers.

as a dirty foreigner from the other side of the world, all i can say is get the fuck out of here for a few years, go traveling,
shag random slags from multiple countries, work in random jobs, buy shit cars and drive around, see shit!

you are a long time dead, and there is plenty of time to work away your youth into a mediocre middle age.

do shit now.
