Hi Bri!


Welcome...Changing a carreer is always hard hun but it can be done at anytime in your life and is not so unusal anymore that most employers understand and dont hold it against you..


Depending on what you do want to do, getting an entry level job may be your best bet , I know for me it has always worked out and often works into something better.


You can also look into going back to school not necessarily for a degree but either for a certificate course or just to add to a resume..


The thing to do is just be open and flexible in the begining, showing you are willing to learn will often get you further then anything in these days when so many people wont do certain jobs because its not in their "field"


Good luck to you!!


*hugs

Thanks Ladies for your responses! I have been checking out some of the other message boards under Work, and I think I'm going to go back to school this fall, taking some computer classes, I'd really like to get into web design, or something of that nature. I didn't realize that CompUSA gave one day classes on stuff like that either, so I'm definitely going to check that out and get some of the XXX for dummies books!! Thanks again! *hugz*
