basically, i'm looking to change jobs.
Not sure of what i want exactly, but, shift work is something that appeals to me.
I'm not a skilled labourer (no plumbing/electrician type training at all).
the job i'm in wont allow much more room for promotion/pay rise and its a job that doesnt play to my strengths. I dont want to be doing this job all my life.
I work in an office, its mostly adminsitrative and the responsibility outweighs the pay and the perks.
so, i'm on the look out and shift work has an appeal as i'm a family man and i'd like to free up bigger chunks of time rather than just the weekends which are too short.
so are there any people who have done this type of job change before?
What kind of shift work is out there that i may not have considered?
i dont mind a drop in salary - if its the kind of job i can work up the ladder in.
but mostly, i'm not an office job type and i want more free time with the family (or at least more time than weekends allow) i know there's paid holiday, but i need something more consistant than that and a job thats more flexible (like being able to swap shifts etc).
i probably need to divulge more info, but need to make a start today else i'll never get it rolling i'm 29 BTW.
