Some considerations when considering a midlife career change:
- What do I want to do?
- Do I need to study?
- What will it cost me if so?
- How long will it take?
- Will I get a job easily after it?
The good news is you don’t have to go (or go back) to University to change your career path. There are many courses offered through TAFE and RTO’s, which will result in you receiving the education, and qualifications you need.
A good place to start would be to check the current industry job trends and skill shortages list. Skills shortages mean no shortage of job opportunities and often many courses related to these industries have government subsidies to encourage people to enrol which can help significantly reduce the costs of your studies, in particular at the moment in 2018 these courses are largely in the trades and services industry where there is a shortage of Australian workers.
