Reinventing my career path after a variety of roles after bringing up kids… wouldn’t change a second of family time, but it does cost now they are grown. I am a qualified journalist and writer, passionate about human rights and non-profit organisations but finding it difficult getting into current affairs (except freelance with no income or guarantee of income) or anything human rights. Anyone else here want to do something that makes a difference, that matters(?) but can’t find a foothold?

I think I'd like to make a difference but I'm a bit too comfortable where I am. 😂😂 My only other advice with those skills would be to look into digital marketing, social media, content development and that kind of thing. You'd smash it having been a journo and I'm pretty sure there would be some roles in the NFP space. Sorry if you've already thought of that!

I've definitely done freelance or part time work (when I was younger) to change careers. Had no experience at all in something, but confident I could do the work. So I picked up part time work on weekends and after hours.
Maybe that's an in?
