How radical can it be?
So far (like the last nine years) I've always been doing Business CRM for large companies (o2 for example) and since moving to the US, I had intended to follow that path again - with slight change towards financial advisor for a large creditcard company.
Pays well, good benefits.
But then I spot an add in the local paper - "K-9 officer wanted" - and having spend my entire life working and living with large dog breeds I applied.
... and will go there for an interview some time soon. Job/academy training starts in March.
Pays alot less than financial advisor, great benefits because it's a state job.
I am still a little baffled (that I actually got an appointment for an interview, them showing actual interest in me etc.), the wife is very cool with it... and I really want to do the job.
So... has anyone of you ever been in the same situation job-wise?
A 180 degree career change?
