On Friday and Monday we publish the problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Guardian Money supplement, so readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy's own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I am deliberating over a career change. I am 27, have a degree in information and library management and have worked in the NHS as an information specialist for four-and-a-half years. My issue is that I never really wanted to be an information specialist and I find the work quite boring (although I am incredibly grateful for a permanent and secure job in these times).
I am thinking of a career change to work in IT, possibly in information systems (I feel like my background would help with this) or programming. I am not certain what exactly, but think the information and communications technology sector, somewhere. I would have to do a master's in order to make this career change.
Would this be a smart move? Is there a lot of competition for IT roles at the moment; indeed are there any jobs? What if I do the master's and don't get a job? What if I hate working in IT?
