Change of career

Has anyone had a change in career, or studied to do something different. I am interested in going into mental health or funeral care . Not sure whether it would be MS friendly

I'm not sure what exactly would be considered as MS friendly... I had my own physiotherapy practise for 18 years, now I'm employed in a rehabilitation center - and that is a 180 degrees change of direction. First - I'm not my own boss anymore. Sounds weird but hey, that is a real change for me. Also the quality of my work dropped to the absolute minimum. The team is super nice, I drive 5 min to work - that's the pros. The cons are literally everything else. But it's ok for now, I'd have that with every other job aswell. I just couldn't do it like I used to do before, work the hours, put in strength and effort, it was just not possible. Now I use my new job as therapy for myself and it already shows. I train with every group I hold, with every patient I do active training myself. It was extremely exhausting in thw beginning, it's starting to pay off slowly.
