Has anyone here done a degree or Polytech course in their 30's? I got an bank job straight out of school and I don't hate it but I'm so bored and I want to do something else, I'm not even sure what. I'm about to turn 30 and feel lost. I like the idea of doing something creative but I literally hve no certificates or skills. Whst are my realistic options here?

Career Pivot · 28d ago

Can we talk about career pivots? I'm interested to hear success stories of people changing jobs like I'm about to do. I'm 38 and have spent more than 15 years working at the same place in a minimum wage job, even though I'm now manager. Next year I'm going to start a teaching degree as a mature age student. Would love to hear how a career change like this has gone for others

I'm a recent graduate with a few months working in my chosen field but I don't think I've made the right choice. I have a business management degree but I think I want to pivot into the tech side of things. What are some IT roles I could get into after maybe 1-2 years of extra study? I'm interested in cyber security and systems admin - could I realistically pivot into these with a graduate diploma?

When transitioning from marketing to community management, I discovered my experience with data analysis and audience segmentation became surprisingly valuable in understanding engagement patterns and developing targeted programming. The pivot was smoother than anticipated because of these overlapping competencies. For those who've made a professional transition, which skills unexpectedly translated to your new field?

I'm currently in a senior position in Malaysia and considering opportunities in New Zealand. After working in Asia for many years, I'm unsure how to accurately assess what compensation level I should be targeting in a new market. I'm struggling with how to translate my current compensation package to different market standards & find out if my Asia-based experience commands the same premium elsewhere. Anyone out there can help?

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what’s next in my career. While I’ve spent years as a designer, I sometimes wonder what other roles could be a good fit if I ever decide to make a change. What career paths have other designers transitioned into? Are there roles where design experience is still valuable, but the day-to-day is different? I'd love to hear from anyone who’s made a shift—or is thinking about it too.
