Best Answer:
It will be extremely tough to seek out a new field. The reason is simple. A person will peak at the age of 35-38 years old. What it means is that if you're not holding on to a director or senior manager position by then, you are highly expendable and could be retrenched anytime. Reason being that you're not low enough to do meagre duties and not high ranked enough to avoid the cut. Companies would also not want to invest their time to train you because your ROI would be low. If you are 32 now, it would mean they would have only 3-4 good years from you. Which is not ideal. If they were to hire fresh grads who are 21-22 years old, they could expect a good 12-14 years from them. More importantly, even if you are willing to accept a fresh graduates salary, the company would also not hire you. There will be serious age gap as well. The younger generation would be more IT savvy and would pick up new skills faster. My suggestion is to stay put or try to start something on your own.

Go to the job centre. They will put you in touch with a careers officer who can help you on your way to finding the perfect job. They can also advise you on training courses available.

Lots of people want to change their careers, but most don't because they are too afraid of change. There are lots of options available to you, my specialist field is second income consultancy helping people to build a second income in their spare time to the stage where it earns them more than their full time job. That way you end up with the same salary part-time and without the stresses of a full time job. Other than that you can try your local job centre or maybe switch to a different practice where things are run differently and may give your current profession a new lease of life.

Though Mr Ng does provide very good advice with regards to market stance, I am afraid I must deccur. With the recent new legislation that now exists for Age Discrimination, an employer cannot treat you less or ignore you for a job purely on age. Your age and maturity may be an added blessing, or it may not. Take a sit down and think about where you want to go. Do you want to get out of Dentistry, but still enjoy Reception or office work. If that is the case, then why not consider moving to a different office job. Maybe you want to move out of Office Stuff altogether, and become a shop assistant, a club bouncer, a police officer, and animal handler. There are lots of fields you can move into. Go to the jobcentre, as that is a good place to start thinking of a career change. An advisor there will be able to read your history, listen to what you want, and advise on where you could go from there. Once you have considered your 'soon-to-be' career path, crack open a phone book under Employment Agencies and see about registering with some of them. Choose the ones that specialise in the sector you want. They can advise you on what to do to better your chances. I really think that it is really easy to make a career change at any stage of your life; It takes work, but if its what you want, then go for it.
