It was mentioned this week that the division I work for will be winding down over or before 5 years, and as such I will have to at some point go somewhere else. I'm not really wanting to stay in this field for ever but need something in place that will cover the bills.
Has anyone ever moved careers and become a taxi driver? I have been thinking for a while of maybe doing airport runs? At this point I don't mind the anti-social ours or the long drives as I did that for 7 years in this job. I know the insurance is big, and I would have to buy something like an E250 for the space.
I suppose I am being naive that all I've got to do is advertise and I'll get the business! But there are a lot of people doing it.
At least I should be fine with settings up the side of things, taking payments and bookings etc.
Are there any pros and cons that could sway me to or away from this mad idea??
