career options? what should i do?
i love animals but do not have the science skills to become a vet.
i want to look after my mother when shes elderly but am not good at science and maths to become a registered nurse.
i am wanting to buy a house and being in realestate would help out but such a competitive industry.
i have over 15 years experience in customer liasion, cash handling and office duties, but i do not want to work in retail or office work.
what should i do?
i have 3 kids and my youngest is two i want to be able to give them a great future as well as me having a career to provide that and knowing that the industry i work within will always generate work.
i do have my own business as a mobile hair braider but its a hobby i love doing hair but not enough to become a hairdresser. i have had all those years experience as they were the only jobs i could secure due to experience and no one willing to train a 27 y.o in a diffenert feild even if they are reliable.
I like customer service and i am always happy but just want a change and a better income.
Open a doggy day care. They are booming in my area right now, you would be amazed at what people pay for their dogs to be taken care of when they are at work.
You have the office skills to run a business, and a love of animals. Either that or a dog walker, they make good money too.

I also think a dog care day is a great idea.. it is a bit like baby sitting in your own home…

Starting something like a doggy day care would mean capital, would you be able to spare some with three kids plus planning to take care of you mom?
I think that if you want security and career development it would be best to not go with something that you are not sure will be stable. Starting your own business is pretty risky and should you try getting a loan for business, it would also have to be very well thought out. Most people would think why go for the mundane and what you do not want to do but for you, you aren’t the only person who will be affected. I suggest you take an office job, if you don’t like your previous duties, then work hard and smart to either move up or be able to transfer to another department. That way, you can be secure and have stability. Think of doing what you want when you can afford to do so but attend to your needs first.
Out of curiosity, if you been doing what you’ve been doing for 15 years, why didn’t you try working your way out of the position you were in before?
