How many career changes have you made so far in your careers?

I used to work in accounting (years ago) and have been working with computers for about 15 years (programmer, db, java). I am thinking about changing careers but REALLY like the money I get now. What careers are out there for a 30 something male that still needs to support a family?How many career changes have you made so far in your careers?
You really don't have a lot of options when you have the responsibility of a family. Your first duty is to them. In my case, I changed careers about 3.5 years ago from secretarial to private auditing. But even as a secretary I changed jobs a lot and worked in a wide variety of industries and their respective departments. Maybe you're less bored with being a programmer than you are with the type of company you work for. Stay in the field but go someplace else.How many career changes have you made so far in your careers?
zero. I had two internships in public/non-public accounting. The idea is to work for leading company in your field and then start your own business. Now you do not have to re-develop the wheel. There are learning curves to stay ahead of.
all your experience you could do jsut about anything you want. any employer would like a manager who could fix computer problems too ;) i would go for it. i have worked in management, finance and now am one semester away from beign a nurse lol
You'll find almost all the options in the Occupational Outlook Handbook:

You can change careers as often as you like as long as you don't mind starting over as a newby each time. I've changed careers three times--you can read about it here: http://www.wordedwrite.com/



Good luck!
