Career Options For People Who Simply Don’t Have The Time May 17, 2018My CareerOff

One of the biggest problems that we face as we enter adulthood is what kind of career we want to pursue. This can be made 1000x harder when we’ve already entered the working world before choosing a career path, as we suddenly realize that we don’t have the time to follow a new career path and we’ve already got responsibilities like paying the rent and providing for our families. Not to worry, all hope is not lost, as there are ways of choosing a new career path without having to give up your current job and put yourself in a sticky financial situation! Take a look at these career options for people who simply don’t have the time.

Online. One of the greatest ways of being able to pursue another career while you’re still working is by taking to the internet to gain new qualifications. Many courses for high end careers can be taken online like an online msn degree, and can also be completed in less time than you think! A few years of hard work and dedication online will give you the chance to pursue what you want and completely change your career path!

Part time. You may already be working full time hours so are wondering how you can take a course at the same time? The answer is part time college or university. This still may pose a problem if you’re working a regular 9-5 job but not to worry, many universities offer night time courses for people in your predicament, and even offer financing options so that you’re not left out of pocket too! The perfect solution for someone who wants to drastically change their career!

Jump straight in. Another option to take would be to search for a job within the industry that you want to work in. So, if you wanted to be say, a baker, getting yourself a job at a bakery as a shop assistant would be the perfect start for you as you could keep an ear out for jobs going at the bakers side of things, and also express your interest for the role too. You will find that you’re offered a similar if not the position you’re after faster than you think, and many companies will also pay for you to learn any extra qualifications on the job too.

Move up in your current industry. If you’re like many people and honestly, aren’t quite sure what career path you want to take, then why not move up in your current industry? You might not be keen on the job role that you’ve got now, but it’s likely that you’ve got a lot of knowledge within the industry that you’re working for. Listen out for any job opportunities that come up, and also express your interest to your boss so that they can consider you for the position should it arise.

Use these four ideas to help you gain the job and career that you’re after. Remember that just because you’ve jumped straight into the working world, all is not lost and there is always time to change your career path
