[QUOTE="mc1502, post: 3060316, member: 66980"] What would you like to do? You need to answer that question first. That sounds a little elementary, but starting over typically results in a temporary drop in pay, and many can't stomach the reduction without knowing they are going into a career that really interests them. I work in HR and have seen many people change careers. The successful ones seek a direction that interests them, then they learn everything there is to learn about that profession. You will however have to start close to the bottom, then work your way up. But starting at the bottom of some professions still pays fairly well (relatively speaking). You would be amazed at how many professions require similar skillsets. I work on the total rewards side of HR (Comp, Ben, Wellness...), and I am in the process of hiring a person from my companies' finance team because of their analytical and financial skills. They will be working on Executive Comp LTI and DCP modeling/analysis/administration. These duties are miles away from what she currently does, but her current work requires the same skillset I need.
