Plan a career change you can afford to make

Help me plan a career change.

What I do now: [role, years, skills]
What I enjoy and what I don't: [details]
What I'd like to change: [e.g. more meaning, less stress, outdoors]
Money: [what I need to earn, savings]
Time: [what I can give each week]
What I'd miss: [anything]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Three career options, each with why it fits, what it usually involves and what I'd need to learn.
2. A cheap way to test each before jumping (a course, shadowing, volunteering, side project, conversations).
3. A reality check: retraining, likely pay change (tell me to research), and timescale.
4. A 6-month plan with monthly steps.
5. People to talk to and what to ask.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English.

For current UK job profiles, training routes and typical pay for these careers, use web search and name the page you used. If it doesn't search on its own, open View all tools and choose Search.
