so i've been thinking of a change in career and thinking of seeing a career councelor

but then I'm faced with a puzzling paradox: how can a good career councelor exist? if someone is an expert at knowing the various fields which offer the best opportunities, why would such a person choose career councelor as a job? certainly there are jobs that offer a better salary and benefits, no? I just imagine someone studying to be a career councelor and once he finishes his studies goes on to do some other job having realized through the course of his studies that career councelor wasn,t the best option. 🤔

They are experts in helping you and providing guidance and options. You are seasoned. It is hard to start a new career this late in life. Seniority counts. It often means better benefits and top salary. Do think carefully on this.

@Fluffybull I need no accolades for stating the facts. I eould have liked to finish my career as an RN and retire. I could not. So I had to return to my other career. It pays a lot less. It does have benefits and I work alone. I miss saving lives and being an RN though.

@PoetryNEmotion oh, I'm not worried about that, I am not a typical person. I've had many different carrers and I am young at heart. my Gf and my two best friends are all women in their mid-twenties. I do multiple-day treks in jungles and up mountains and I'm an extreme downhill skiier. tried paraglidding for the first time two years ago and next year going to get my scuba diving cards.
