Temijin Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Have you considered getting your PMP and getting into project management, Tem? You'd be able to put those budgeting skills to use in a different way. Forgive my ignorance, whats a PMP? Project Management Professional? Did a quick Wiki search, sounds interesting. How do you get into the profession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temijin Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm in public auditing and well I've had enough of it. Long hours, constant stress, and the job being not very satisfying. I'm planning to take a break at some stage after I finish my CA for a couple of months, but I'm seriously considering an entirely new career. Would welcome any suggestions. Be creative in your suggestions! Tem For my mid-life career change, I'm studying biology and ecology and expect to become a U. S. Fish and Wildlife Park Ranger eventually. And/or a college professor, too. I was never big on science, I dunno why, I'm a nerdy book guy. You know the type that would hang out in a library.

Temijin Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 There is a shortage of demographers in Australia. There is also a shortage of people capable of doing more general statistical work. Apart from that, anything that delivers services to the retired is reputed to be a growth industry in Australia. Here is a section on skills shortages on the DEEWR (Dept of Education Employment and Workplace Relations)website: http://www.deewr.gov...rtageLists.aspx Thanks for the link...very good. I noticed Clinical Psychologist on there. That is something I am interested in, although I'm not sure how I'd handle dealing with depressed people everyday.

Ro-bear Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I think a career as a brewmaster would be very satisfying. I think beer has a bright future. @ Ro bear and fellow brewsters I've never consider that before but I can't drink beer. (It's called Asian Flush ppls) Do you think I could do it without actually liking beer? I very much doubt it. Brewing is a labor of love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryper Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just want to say one word. Computers. I'm actually good with computers. But I guess I want to work with people rather than machines. Is it good money? (I am after all an accountant) In the US the average range is $50k to $90k per year depending on skill set and experience. With the accounting background it would seem if you boosted your computer skills you could be a got to guy for managing what accounting needs and what IT can provided. With the added benefit of the SQL programing you could be able to customize the data for what is specifically needed as opposed to taking whatever IT can provide.

Foxy Methoxy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Have you considered getting your PMP and getting into project management, Tem? You'd be able to put those budgeting skills to use in a different way. Forgive my ignorance, whats a PMP? Project Management Professional? Did a quick Wiki search, sounds interesting. How do you get into the profession? Yes. Project Management. Many universities offer a 12 week PMP certification course through PMI. You must have your bachelor's degree in order to take the course. From there, you send your resume to construction companies, engineering firms, and utilities companies. The position is in high demand these days. There is a lot of money to be made if you have good project management / cost management skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomit Comet Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 You must have your bachelor's degree In what? Anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Methoxy Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yup. Anything. Business Management, Engineering, or Accounting would be ideal, but as long as you have a legit bachelor's you're in like flynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
