Your job is a way of making money to do things that you want to do with your life. But there are plenty of jobs out there that can also make you happy.

For me personally life is all about helping others where you can and also about making memories with the people closest to you. Work life balance is key for me and having the ability to work on a variety of activities, being able to collaborate with various stakeholder. Work out what matters most to you in regards to a job role or career. It is important to find a job role which you enjoy doing and is fulfilling as this will keep you motivated. Do not underestimate yourself, if there is a course you wish to do, if you want to change careers completely, just go for it, reach out for support and guidance.

I studied a completely different degree, and the work I did before the Tax Specialist Programme in finance was completely different to what I do now.
