Decide if you are changing for money or for pleasure; say "Both" and you're gonna have a tougher time (unless you get lucky). Then, based on your age, I'd go from there.

A good place to start when considering a career change is on the net. Surf through all the pages you can get your hands on so you can collect all the info you need! Once you know what drives you to go on each morning (or at least what you'd like to do every single day for the rest of your life), check out some of the universities that are near your home. They usually have websites with a list of all the careers for you to choose from with additional info on each career. Don't think of this as something unimportant! I did this anyway without any expectations and I ended up finding the career of my life! And I didn't even think it'd exist! Good luck finding your career!

Do a personal assessment. There are several free ones on line. Do a web search on "free career assessments." Many give you examples of a number of careers that may be well suited to your personality, skills and interests.

Many colleges and library and even some bookstores have aptitude tests that tell you, based on your skills and personal preference, what careers you may wish to consider. And the range is wide. Test results also touch on what you'd be miserable doing. Like if you'd hate being isolated, forest ranger is not your gig. Once you know what area you'd like to research, there's counselors and technical schools galore who'll help with re-education and job searches. And of course, there's the net.
