I’m a 21 year old male who has very mild autism. I would say socially I’m not always the best but am always willing to help customers. I work at Coles doing various things and the last 6-7 months has been mainly working by myself which I do like but the work itself is a massive overload. I just don’t know what to do and what else I’d even be interested in. I don’t fully believe in myself due to having autism and it makes me feel down sometimes.

What do I even want to do?? I love my job, I’ve spent many years doing it, but I’m still constantly wondering if there’s a different job out there. Discovering the job is the hard part. My skills are definitely transferable, but not job-specific for a big change. Taking cool job recommendations/ aspirations, from a Childcare educator.

Not sure if this is the right place to post as I've never really had a 'career'? Ive hopped from temp job to casual job and part time since leaving school. Had kids so spent time raising them and now they're in school, Im 35 and feel like I want to do something more serious but where do I start? I feel old and behind the 8 ball. Aside from applying for entry level jobs what else can I do? Is it worth getting a certificate or training at my age?

Hi everyone, I've been a qualified chef for 23 years, but lately I've been feeling completely burnt out and have lost the passion I once had for cooking. At 38, the idea of starting over in a new career feels pretty overwhelming—especially with financial responsibilities like a mortgage. I'm considering a mature-age apprenticeship to make a career change, but I'm concerned about the income side of things. Are mature-age apprenticeships generally low-paying. Thx
