Totally empathise with workplace incompetence. Seems to be endemic in this country with too many people coasting in their jobs and relying on dedicated colleagues to bail them out. Work for yourself instead of an organisation. They only hold you back and suck you dry..

I never had a career advisor, but I had a friend at Uni who did Chemistry. Before he sat his Finals he was informed by a career advisor that the only alternative job he could expect to do with a Chemistry degree was to become a Fireman!! So, he worked in a Patents office, then left and set up his own partnership and grew a successful Patents advisory business.

Work frustration can often drive people into taking risks that they never would have done if they just " put up with it". Go and have an adventure with your life as you're own boss!

Cat psychologist sounds ideal. Who can prove you're not one. 😂

I love that story of your friend! Good thing he ignored his career advisor! 😄

I do like the idea of being my own boss... I am seriously considering a career change. And you're right, who would know I'm not a qualified cat psychologist? 😂 I just need to be able to persuade people to pay me to hang out with their cats 'for science'.
