I'm at a serious crossroad in my life. I'm soon to be 29, a have a BA in languages (bad call) and currently work as a front desk/night audit at a 4 star hotel. My twenties where mostly squandered on nothing.
The job that I do at the moment doesn't satisfy me in any way;
- it provides low salary
- it has little prospects of advancing
- I don't want to work in hotel industry / around people in general
- the most important thing of all is that it leaves me empty, without any sense that I've achieved something (it's a meaningless service job).
I need a career change, but the problem is I don't have any real skills or knowledge that I could cash in, so any career I decide for I would have to start from the scratch. At 29, I kinda feel embarrassed to, but there no helping it. Better late than never.
I'm looking to get some advice, what would you do in this situation?
