A little lost… career change?

When I couldn't guide anymore to keep myself sane due to covid travel restrictions. I went from earning quite alot as a project engineer to becoming a fresh apprentice getting his foot in the door via an offer of minimum wage employ to be reassessed in an industry I had a strong interest in. I treated it like being paid to learn a new skill. Because of the enjoyment I thrived and found myself head of department within a few years as I genuinely loved what I did. Not always the day to day but it made work "easy". Im also in a position I could start my own business vs one I'd never want to own my own business in.

Put a few ducks in a row accept it might be financially tight for awhile and go for it. Just make sure you pick the best role not some halfway point as you learn fastest from extremes. Its easiest to find the best balance when you have experienced a wider range of things.
