Nursery Worker
I'm almost 36 and have never had a 'career'. I've been a SAHM for nearly 13 years, working odd jobs here and there. Latest was 2 years in a café and I absolutely hated it. I have worked in child safety and have a half completed Cert IV, but hated that job too and never want to work in the industry again.
I also hate studying and don't have 3-5 years to commit to something I have no passion for. So how do people know what they want to do and find a job they don't hate?

As I've got older, its not as much about passion for the work (I do enjoy my work), but more about finding a workplace where the people are good, the workload is realistic, and the pay matches with the workload. I think people sometimes think that its a bad career choice/match - when really the workplace isn't treating them well, or they get burnt out, if they just had a decent employer, it wouldn't be like that
