Posted by PuzzlePiecesThat sounds like a very Capricorn type job 😃. I hope you’re earning the Capricorn level of income that they expect 👍
I’m a CPA, have been in management & accounting ( mostly tax) at companies large & medium sized and also CPA firms.
It took a degree in accounting & passed CPA exams to get licensed in the last couple of years. I wouldn’t say I have a passion for it, but it has always presented a challenge which I need & I enjoy figuring things out. I have mostly been treated well over the years. But it’s a lot of hard work too.
Well I certainly think you have needed to work for a different employer, whether an entire change of industry is needed that is up to you. But, I think there are probably good ones and not good ones. Your situation sounds difficult and can wear down on you. So I hope you at least find a new employer.
Posted by MyStarsShinelol I do okay, enough to provide the life I live comfortably and provide stability. Which as a dominant Cap is important. I’m a little tired of it now though 🤣🤣 As I’m getting older I’d rather do things like write, draw & paint. Finish the book I stopped writing when I went to the CPA firm. Hopefully I can slow down & do some other kinds of learning/challenging things for me… creative with the analytical brain 🙃Posted by PuzzlePieces

I'm in the same boat as you. Been in Healthcare my whole life (both animal and human) and I'm Just done with it but I have no idea what else to do cause I don't have any other kind of experience.

Maybe before considering any sudden changes, what are your other options within the healthcare field?
If it's possible, consider part time study of interest while you're still working and then go from there.

Posted by SoulFunny I actually thought about a career in law enforcement. Well I wanted to be an investigator. Had an opportunity to get my feet wet and go for training right out of college. They sent me to another city to take the exam which I passed and the next step was training. Well I was so naive back then I had no idea I’d be required to use and carry a gun. So I backed out.🤦♀️ Kinda wish I hadn’t now.
You really want to try and develop some kind of skill or trade. Something that can't be taken away, or replaced by upcoming AI.
Other then that and depending on age, maybe do something completely crazy and join law enforcement or the navy/ military.

Posted by Walk_on_byWorking on a farm sounds like a dream!
I work on a big farm in the horticulture industry. Its a great workplace with lots of verity of things to do. I used to work in construction and I enjoyed it a lot but i was self employed which was too stressfull. The weather is pretty much the only real stress for me now.
Posted by Jumpin_JupiterSee that’s me….I’d love to work in complete solitude!!
I've been reading a lot of your work stress comments on the front page as of late on the sneak tip low key and let me just say there is no way in holy hell nobody should have to put up with the BS from their occupation. People ain't worth it for anybody to get all stressed out. Lord knows I couldn't do it. That shit ain't good for nobody. Stress causes hair loss weight loss (and not weight loss in a healthy way either) amongst a ton of other unhealthy related causes. I would of been cuss some people the hell out without a care in the world if that'll make me feel good about it.
Now that that's out of the way I've done a lot in my prime even served our country for unfortunately only five years. I'm that type that likes to stay quiet about what I do but all I'm gonna tell you at my ripe old age and the condition I'm sadly now in I wish the hell I WOULD work under someone. For a start I don't like nobody telling me what to do giving me orders. I like working in complete solitude working for myself and own businesses. Also I'll say this, I sure as hell wouldn't mind starting my own recycling business because that's the one thing I like doing. Recycling. And I don't even have that much earth placements either. I just care too much about our planet.
Posted by UndineWhat field did you enjoy most? Research sounds interesting to me. I think I am burnt out with healthcare. However, I know I’m gonna have one hell of a time switching to something else entirely given the fact I have zero experience. I’ve always considered something with psychology which is what I have my degree in (which is a useless degree since I never went back to graduate school). Working with animals or children both sound appealing to me. Something in investigation/law enforcement, architectural design or interior decorating all sound interesting to me, but again I have zero experience in so I’d have lots of schooling/training to do and at this late age I just don’t know if it’s feasible.
I’ve been in healthcare, then changed career to research and teaching. It took me a lot of studying and qualifications to get here and in the end, it doesn’t really matter. It comes a time in any job when things are not as rewarding as they used to be.
If I were in your shoes, I’d look for a receptionist job at hospitals, clinics and private ordinations. Visit some and ask directly. If you don’t have the drive to do something specific, why not start by looking at job adverts in and near your area? Make a generous list with all your skills and experience, re-write your CV. If you find something you like, research the company/ job and present yourself as the ideal candidate. If you get an interview, don’t bring any negativity. If they ask about your last job, just tell them that AI will take over in a couple of years and that you are ready for other -human- challenges. 😃
Posted by MyStarsShineAh that sounds lovely Star! The healing arts have always interested me.
Holistic therapist / intuitive life coach.

It has changed my life and made me aware of the importance of natural healing and self care which I help my clients with.

Posted by RollergirlOrcYes, I should have left before the new coming took over, but it was a relatively new company and there were not many reviews on them yet. When I look up the company now, that’s all you see are negative reviews and most of them mention how toxic management is. All of my previous coworkers have left the company. Most were pushed out. One lady who was in her sixties had planned on retiring with the company, but was forced to retire early because she couldn’t take it anymore. Another eventually quit because she was pregnant and all the stress was affecting her pregnancy and causing her blood pressure to go way up. The rest followed shortly after. I tried applying with a company several of my coworkers got jobs at, but no such luck. Another of my coworkers who I was really close to as we worked together at a previous job before this one as well…..she went on to start her own business and is doing quite well for herself and is extremely happy. I will definitely be doing my research first though before I start another job!
Choose a job where people can't abuse you. I know that's hard but generally, if it's a hostile work environment- get tf out of there asap. Find out the ratings on indeed, but most importantly, ask around. If you have former coworkers that left because of shitty management, it might be worth it to ask them where they went and what other good companies are out there. Wishing you luck.
Posted by PuzzlePiecesOh I envy you. I could never be an accountant as I’m horrible with math and numbers. I’m glad you enjoy what you do though. That definitely makes a difference when you have a job that doesn’t feel like….well like a job. Lol

Posted by DMVOh good luck on your journey and good for you!❤️
I’m in finance but I’m looking to change “careers” within the next two years.
Something totally different
I’m going back to school in January the journey starts
Posted by StardustmoppedWow that does sound stressful. I definitely do NOT thrive in chaos so I will stay away from that field. Lol. Best of luck on following your dreams!
Logistics management specialist. It’s a stressful field but I would fall asleep if I had a boring job. I thrive in chaos.
I don’t want to do it forever though. I daydream about being a floriculturist or anything more fun and creative.
Posted by serenidadWow your job sounds quite interesting! Thank you for the tips! Definitely gives me something to think about.
try making a list of things you think you’re good at or things you’ve been told you’re good at by others and see if there’s a job out there that will allow you to make use of those attributes/skills.
also decide if you want a job with lots of human interaction or little to no human interaction.
also, decide if you wanna work remote (from home) or commute to work.
that will give you a clearer idea of what kinda jobs to look for.
as for me, i work as a translator/interpreter/captioner (japanese/english). i also have an e-commerce business that’s doing alright, and i live-stream at night (i’m signed to an agency). i can probably live on my live-streaming income alone but live-streaming is not something you can put on a corporate resume (unless you’re trying to go into the entertainment industry or whatever which i’m not) so my main jobs keep me grounded in the real world, i guess you could say lol 😅
Posted by SeaLionUgh yeah I’m just burnt out and so done! So I totally relate! It just feels so daunting to start all over you know? Especially at my age. So idk…. If you don’t mind me asking….what exactly is your role now?
I'm in the same boat as you. Been in Healthcare my whole life (both animal and human) and I'm Just done with it but I have no idea what else to do cause I don't have any other kind of experience.
Posted by s-Yeah, anything with children has always interested me. I used to keep up my cpr certification back when I was in nursing school. It’s been expired for years now. Though probably something that’s good to keep up regardless of job.
maybe if u want to baby sit or a moms helper moms helper may help wile mom or parent is home & they can help u to a cpr card may help
Posted by TimoneYes it’s very toxic. I have been looking into other companies as well. I’ll stay in healthcare if I have to….especially if I can find another company that treats their employees better and isn’t so toxic. Though I think I need a change altogether.
It seems it's the toxic management and culture in your company that's the main problem. Could you find a job in another company instead?

Posted by xyzabcThat all depends on what you're experienced at. It does seem healthcare or anything that has to do with providing health care to customers or whatever is where it's at for you. But unfortunately I strongly advise against starting your own healthcare business. If you think working for one as an employee is a pain in the rear it'll be twice as painful owning one. Actually that's how I got started. I have years of experience doing what I did working 9-5 as an employee and decided on getting into that business for myself. Of course you'll need a business license to get started. And no it's not a fun in a park either. I deal with clients and it's my duty to satisfy them in anyway possible. And yeah even that can be stressful too at times. But the good thing about it is you have freedom to move around and not be bogged down sitting behind a desk in suit and tie all day long lol.Posted by Jumpin_JupiterPosted by xyzabcPosted by Jumpin_Jupiter

I’d love maybe something working with animals. Like maybe opening my own doggy daycare or some kind of animal rescue of some sort. I don’t know though. Sounds like it might be risky. To sink a bunch of money into a business and then it not pan out. I’m a worrier and always think the worst. LolPosted by xyzabcPosted by Jumpin_JupiterPosted by xyzabcPosted by Jumpin_Jupiter
I've been reading a lot of your work stress comments on the front page as of late on the sneak tip low key and let me just say there is no way in holy hell nobody should have to put up with the BS from their occupation. People ain't worth it for anybody to get all stressed out. Lord knows I couldn't do it. That shit ain't good for nobody. Stress causes hair loss weight loss (and not weight loss in a healthy way either) amongst a ton of other unhealthy related causes. I would of been cuss some people the hell out without a care in the world if that'll make me feel good about it.
Now that that's out of the way I've done a lot in my prime even served our country for unfortunately only five years. I'm that type that likes to stay quiet about what I do but all I'm gonna tell you at my ripe old age and the condition I'm sadly now in I wish the hell I WOULD work under someone. For a start I don't like nobody telling me what to do giving me orders. I like working in complete solitude working for myself and own businesses. Also I'll say this, I sure as hell wouldn't mind starting my own recycling business because that's the one thing I like doing. Recycling. And I don't even have that much earth placements either. I just care too much about our planet.
See that’s me….I’d love to work in complete solitude!!

Working at some stinkin call center and being a representative certainly ain't for introverts. Leave that for the extroverts. I mostly work remotely at the comfort at my home where I can drink and do whatever I please without the hassle of worrying about getting write up. I still get out the house and work whenever necessary but I don't have to do that. I can stay home everyday 24/7 and still get paid just kicking back drinking beer and listen to my smooth jazz records, play my guitar and all. I think that's what you need. But I don't know if you know anything about how to go about starting your own business though.
Yes working in a call center is definitely not a place for an introvert. Add severe social anxiety to that and that’s me! I need a change and fast! I do my best work I feel when I have peace and quiet without being around people or having people tell me what to do and when to do it.
I’d love to have my own business, but I don’t have a clue about how to get started or what kind of business I’d even like to have. Any pointers?

That all depends on what you're experienced at. It does seem healthcare or anything that has to do with providing health care to customers or whatever is where it's at for you. But unfortunately I strongly advise against starting your own healthcare business. If you think working for one as an employee is a pain in the rear it'll be twice as painful owning one. Actually that's how I got started. I have years of experience doing what I did working 9-5 as an employee and decided on getting into that business for myself. Of course you'll need a business license to get started. And no it's not a fun in a park either. I deal with clients and it's my duty to satisfy them in anyway possible. And yeah even that can be stressful too at times. But the good thing about it is you have freedom to move around and not be bogged down sitting behind a desk in suit and tie all day long lol.click to expand
Posted by borednbeautifulThose are all things I’m interested in! It’s like we share the same mind. LolPosted by xyzabcPosted by Undine
I’ve been in healthcare, then changed career to research and teaching. It took me a lot of studying and qualifications to get here and in the end, it doesn’t really matter. It comes a time in any job when things are not as rewarding as they used to be.
If I were in your shoes, I’d look for a receptionist job at hospitals, clinics and private ordinations. Visit some and ask directly. If you don’t have the drive to do something specific, why not start by looking at job adverts in and near your area? Make a generous list with all your skills and experience, re-write your CV. If you find something you like, research the company/ job and present yourself as the ideal candidate. If you get an interview, don’t bring any negativity. If they ask about your last job, just tell them that AI will take over in a couple of years and that you are ready for other -human- challenges. 😃
What field did you enjoy most? Research sounds interesting to me. I think I am burnt out with healthcare. However, I know I’m gonna have one hell of a time switching to something else entirely given the fact I have zero experience. I’ve always considered something with psychology which is what I have my degree in (which is a useless degree since I never went back to graduate school). Working with animals or children both sound appealing to me. Something in investigation/law enforcement, architectural design or interior decorating all sound interesting to me, but again I have zero experience in so I’d have lots of schooling/training to do and at this late age I just don’t know if it’s feasible.

A private detective? Working at animal shelter or after school program or state foster program? Maybe a tutor at a local school?click to expand
