Don't look at it all from a financial gain point of view. Life isn't about chasing abstract representations of wealth and don't view yourself as a commodity that can increase or decrease its value.
Some people know the cost of everything and the value in nothing

That's a very sensible answer pteridine! Trouble is I'm terrible with maths!
I will browse the other modules though to see what else is available. I know there are some science modules, and environmental ones, as well as Psychology and languages.

Hi DanDanDat,
You've made some excellent points and I do agree with what you say in regards as while I think I'd enjoy an Archaeological career, I might hate it.
Take the job I'm in now. I'm a support worker to disabled gardeners with physical and mental disabilities. Not once since my teen years have I ever considered a career with mental health, or similar fields, but I love it. Partly because I'm outside all day and gardening, digging and teaching woodwork, but it proves your point.
As for my financial status, my job is minimum wage, but we are comfortable. Staying in the job I'm in now would be no better than a career change, with a possibility of more pay.
Thanks for your thoughts! Much appreciated!
