Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate your help on this.
I am 30 years old and currently work for a uk bank in the complex queries team in the call centre.
I hate it, I hate all call centre roles.
I get paid well for what I do but not enough to do what I want to, I want to be able to afford a good home for my boys and to travel and see everywhere with my family.
There is some career progression in my current job but it's very "face fits" and who you know.
I worked as a remortgage paralegal before moving to the bank as it was double the money.
I make around £30k.
I have always had an amazing interest in everything healthcare. Because of this I know much more about it than the average person, I can diagnose conditions in medical programs before the docs and recommend the medicines from my living room like a backseat driver. I also do medical quizzes for fun and do well.
I also love computers in general, I love Excel and basic coding but I would really need to brush up on that.
I also ADORE event planning.
I organise everything in our large extended family, birthday parties, holidays, help with weddings etc and I hate when I have nothing to plan because I love thinking of every little detail.
I also love Beauty and do all my own beauty treatments and love pampering others.
I also love making & designing cakes for events.
I have several business ideas that I would love to get started but have no money or idea.
You see the problem with ALL of this is, I am disabled.
I have a condition called Ehlers Danlos syndrome and honestly? It ruins my life. I am in pain 24/7 and in reality I would probably need to work at my own pace (which is not slow but odd times when I am at my best rather than set hours) and I would also like to be in control of my own work because I work really fast but I need to pick the times I work so I can do my best work due to brain fog, worsening pain, stiffness etc etc
Am I absolutely crazy? is there no opportunity that will get me where I want to be?
I'm extremely proud of my work and I like to do above and beyond always. I have worked since I was 15 and never not worked.
I am more than willing to work around my family (9 year old with ADHD, 2 year old and fiancé) to do any education, qualification, degree etc whatever is needed.
I considered PRINCE2, Fimancial Advisor, Phlebotomy, etc etc but I have no idea where to go and I would really appreciate some guidance and I don't know who to turn to. I don't have any support from anyone.
Can anyone at all guide me? Thanks
