Why is it so hard to change career path's?

how am i supose to get experience in a job if a firm wont employ me so i can get the experience.Why is it so hard to change career path's?
It is not fair, but it is common. It is generally cheaper and more effective for a businesses to recruit into the bottom and promote internally. Also, if you need flexibility for the school run and school holidays, you are a less attractive proposition than someone with no ties.



The good news is that some companies understand that experience of the wider world is valuable and so your age will work in your favour.



Have you considered looking for work where your education experience would be relevant? Perhaps working for a business that sells to schools? That way you are bringing something to the table that others do not have. It may not be where you want to end up, but can be a stepping stone going in the right direction.Why is it so hard to change career path's?
Start your own business. Talk up a storm, and do it yourself. That is about the best thing most can think of. If someone tells you no - open up your own opportunities.



Cheers!
Maybe you could do some volunteering work to get experience in different fields. I'd also suggest doing some literacy classes because if you submit an application with as may spelling and grammar mistakes as your questions it will get no further than the ';no thanks'; pile particularly as you work in education!!!
