Kurt asked:


I’m in a job I have no interest in doing anymore, but I can’t find anything else to take it’s place. The few things I might like to do would require substantial financial obligations that I’m not in a position to risk right now, or I’m afraid I might start them, then lose interest. I need a change, but am lost as to how I can find something I would enjoy doing. Help!

How to finance a career change to Graphic Design?

Dear readers,

I am thinking of making a career change to Graphic Design. I currently work unhappily as an Office Manager and have been out of undergrad for nearly 2 years. I am not that skilled in using Graphics software- at least not to a level that I think the profession requires. I want to seek a more formal education but it will cost me an arm and a leg and find that I am not offered financial aid by most institutions because I already hold a Bachelor’s degree. However, I find it difficult to pay out my own pocket for the courses as I can hardly save money every month. Please offer me your suggestions as to how I can finance this education or more economically learn the software/knowledge. (Someone suggested purchasing tutorial books, but I would also like to get classroom instruction to supplement.)

Thank you for your comments. And for fun, please write what city/state/country you are located. I am in New York, New York, USA.

I work in investment banking and make just below six figures right now. I want to go and get my MBA and pursue a marketing career, but for what I’m planning on doing I will most likely take a hefty paycut, expecting to make around $50k. By having an MBA, do you think I will benefit in the long run?

For example, you were an attorney and you decided to become a restaurant owner. For people that have done a complete career change what made you do so?
