Hi there

I work in a call centre(30 hrs per week)and want to get out as asap,(get 325/week) I work part time and do an online business the rest of time this brings in the same(approx) but can drop to 100/week.

I also have land rental income of 10 k but would like to get a job working normal 37-40 hr week with good prospects

Im 34 no kids but a mortgage....

I could do this online thing and land rental would keep me going if I went back to college but what do I do?

I have a BSc and a diploma in IT support which I could build on.

I could do CCNA/MSCA or finish the diploma and get a degree( this would allow me to do poetgrad if I ever wanted to) as Bsc is only a pass degree

I was thinking of doing the pharmacy technician course in Carlow IT

My mother is not well which makes making a decision really difficult so decided to keep going as I am for 1 year and decide

Any help would be great folks

Sounds like you don't really know what you want to do so perhaps you should talk to a professional career consultant who might be able to help you focus on things better when making decisions? I've never read it myself but would that "What colour is your parachute?" career change book be of any use? Probably no harm in getting a copy from the library and making your own mind up about it? Nothing to lose.
 
oh very good is this the actual name of book would you have authors name

Thanks a mill

Hi Noel,
You could do worse than get a masters in Healthcare informatics. I know from experience (I run a healthcare software company) that such expertise is thin on the ground in Ireland.
I think Trinity and some other 3rd Level institutes do this type of course
It would leverage your IT background while setting you up for roles in public and private healtcare settings, or third-party systems vendors, each offering different types of remuneration, role variability, time committment and security.
