If you had the chance to change careers and get training/education for free, what would you want to go for?
Asked by VodkaTonic
Background; a friend that is mid-40's, has done one thing for the last 21 years and climbed up to a mid-management position. He's making OK money and would like to either start a new profession, or start a business where he won't lose his mortgage...do you think he should go for the new or stick with the old? His offer for training is for a profession or small business administration course where tuition and books are paid for. He can't specify a degree he'd like, just an end job/goal he'd be going for.

Best Answer:
I would want to go for an education towards Journalism and writing, ultimately writing a book. I have lots of ideas and would love that but I also have love for languages and would love to explore that and traveling abroad which I haven't yet done. So that's my answer, but for him, he should really go for whatever really he wants to do, whatever is closest to his dream. Also, even though he is a seasoned worker it doesn't hurt to speak to someone at the place of education he is interested in, he might get some interesting feedback.
