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.

It’s feeling like a true impossibility to career shift in this economy. I have 18 years of work history, with 10 years in my current specialty and I want out - but no roles are out there unless I take a massive step backwards and start at entry level again, which is not possible financially.

I’ve been an office worker my entire life (now in my late 40s) and I’m over it, really just unmotivated to sit at a desk for 8 hours a day, plus I don’t really get any sense of purpose from my job. I want a radical change and to study environmental science and work outdoors/do something that benefits the environment. Does anyone have any advice or personal stories of making this kind of career jump at this age? Were you successful? Any regrets? I need hope...

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?

I’ve been in the inventory, warehousing, procurement, supply chain, logistics, freight etc sector for 25 years in different industries and workplaces, working at all levels from entry to management and well, I’m just not enjoying it anymore. I would like to maybe try retail with face to face customer service but I can’t even get an interview due to zero experience? Anyone else found their job is just not fulfilling or simply “not doing it for you” anymore?
