Hi Guys ,in my line of work i meet people with situations like urs every day......................15 years ago i found myself at almost 50 the same way .............................luckily couple of quid from employer to see me on my way .
I know ur all younger than i was and many things as u ve observed seem attractive until u delve into them ...............if u can find something associated with what u ve been doing where u still have connections or basic skills/knowledge although it may not be ideal for the complete lifestyle change it may provide a basis for an income most of us need..........................open for flaming here but dont kid urseleves very little, if anything, provides the moeny u can pick up in the Square Mile [or Canary bl....y Wharf] once u make the cut thats it........................i was lucky a company took me in with promise of training in allied field to what id done for 30 odd years around the Global Markets ................what they really did was try and filch all my contacts ,[ pointless as by definition they were mine made of many years work] and then spit me out in bubbles .........it all worked in my favour , i learnt a new job ,at their expense , mainly what not to do and left to start my own business..........................one thing shocked me setting up on my own, how quickly , what i perceived as small bills, add up if ur working and the income flow is small or start up non existant...............................................by the time all this happened kids were grown up , mortgage very small etc all helped keep stress at bay ......................
So thats Company of 2000 people to virtually one man band and still doing track days !
i dont wish to be presumptious and because i am still involved in the City may be pointless if u REALLY want out completely................however have an office 2/3 days a weekin The Bermuda Triangle alwayus happy to have a glass of red ...............................good luck
