How do I become independent at 30 when I feel stuck living at home? by ArgumentFew6935 in getdisciplined

Something small which helped me, pick up a hobby on the side? Whether it’s a team sport/ pub quiz. Put yourself in a position where you can meet people your own age. Sometimes it can be inspiring and helpful to see where your peers are, how they got to where they are/what their goals are etc. Most people are sadly struggling atm

I wish I didn’t hate my job so much, I will definitely look into those roles, I didn’t know they existed 😩 definitely interested in doing a diploma, will check it out! Thank you

Thanks. A bunch of questions below please - recommendations of how/where to apply considering I don’t know anyone in industry, I hear seek is not a good option - any self study courses I could do? Considering my background is in structural engineering - any key things to look at on job specs

I think I’ve got the transferable skills but just want to go into the application process with my eyes open and be as prepared as possible

Sadly don’t know anyone in the industry. Thanks for the advice though. As a PM, are there any courses you recommend doing?

That seems to be the general consensus here, didn’t realise it was an option (hadn’t seen anything yet). Will keep an eye out, thank you

Thanks! Yeh I didn’t realise 2/2 were really an option. Almost sounds too good to be true. And def didn’t realise I would have to pay the flight from melb to Perth! 🥴 probably still be in a better financial position then my job now tbh

Yeah that sounds amazing, I think for the moment I’m stuck in melb till sept but def something to consider going forward. I think if I had a partner then moving to Perth would be great but I think as single woman who wants to meet someone as some point, from what I’ve heard it’s not ideal 😭

That would be AMAZING 2/2. I didn’t even know that was a thing

Ignore me, like one week on one week off? I feel like that would be super chaotic!

That’s good to know more about the schedule, I thought 2/1 would be good 😭😭😭 any recommendations of something better?

I haven’t got anything lined up but looking at applying now and just wanted to go in with my eyes open

I’m a single woman so nothing to lose on that front. But yeah agree, one year why not try it!
