Career Switching

What are the things to consider for career switching please. I think the Job Market for finding something IT/Tech related is too competitive. I personally don’t know what it’ll take, and I am looking to get out of retail because I don’t want to spend another Christmas in retail as it would count towards my 7th Christmas…And I am 25 years old and I am extremely concerned and worried over the lack of progress I have made to get myself a proper stable job. The two careers that stand out to me the most is Policing and Paramedic. Although baring in mind I have Epilepsy and my New Year’s Goal is to successfully complete and pass my driving test in this current moment in time I have no idea of any other career I would wish to switch to apart from sticking with IT.
Any advice please? Thank you?

Hi Mohammed,
some thoughts that came to mind when reading your situation was,
Health & eligibility: Epilepsy may limit policing or paramedic roles; check requirements first. Furthermore driving is essential for many roles, especially paramedics, so focus on getting that license.
Training: Policing/paramedics usually need degrees or apprenticeships; so you should most likely research suitable schemes, as I imagine you don't want to do a degree unless there's an accelerated option.
Next steps: Pass your driving test, research eligibility, consider different schemes, and build skills in your chosen field.
Hope this helped,
Alfred.

Hi Alfred wouldn’t occupational health be able to establish whether there’s anything they could do on the driving side of the role itself?
