Trying to change careers not sure I'm doing the right thing
![[Deleted User]](https://w5.vanillicon.com/53803320605adcfd08034eeb79695a1f_100.png)
I'm currently doing an Holistic Massage Therapy Course and have just signed up to continue the course by specialising in Sports Massage Therapy? I have another year of study to go.
I'm currently in a job that I've been in for too long and am desperate to make a change of career. I felt so sure until recently and now I'm not sure that I'll be able to support myself whilst starting out.
Anyone else out there whose made a career change into Sport Massage Therapy or a similar field. How easy was it to make the transition from a secure salary to being self-employed?

btw dodge, from a previous thread - how is your new career coming along - you were looking into psych nursing i think?
Going to a new country and setting up a new business that you've only just got into yourself will be pretty tough on all three counts. Do you have something to fall back on?
I'm also doing a similar thing. At the moment I'm work in an office 9-5 but am training in Holistic Stress Management and Clinical Hynotherapy. I also do Reiki. I thought I'd check all the local clinics and hospitals and see if I could get some work experience there, say on a Saturday morning or an evening session, so I can gradully build up experience and client base which will help when looking for full time role. There's got to an overlap between my current mortgage/bill paying job and my new career and I know its going to be hard work juggling the two but it will be worth it.
