Perhaps you may be taking this opportunity to re-examine whether or not you should stay in the same industry. Changing your career can be a huge step that requires much research before investing time and money in pursuing new training courses.
However, having an open mind can also lead you to many exciting career opportunities you never thought of before having been caught up with the corporate race in the corporate machine, climbing the corporate ladder.
There are many successful stories of professionals who re-trained and moved onto bigger and better things such as a former Commodity Trader who used to work at JP Morgan. After five years living a very hectic, time-starved, stressful lifestyle, she opted to leave banking and took 8 months off to attend design school. She became a fully qualified professional Interior Designer. She immediately found an entry level position at a designing firm in the west-end, made valuable contacts and launched her own Interior Design Company two years later. With her banking background, she's able to address the financial aspect of running a business with help from a few professionals. She's now a happily self employed interior designer based in Wimbledon.
