GRIM AND FROSTBITTEN KINGDOMS
I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask but I wasn't sure. Essentially I'm asking for advice/experiences with moving into a new type of career, without anything in the way of experience. I don't have a degree or any qualifications of value as I moved from England to Australia at 21 (previous jobs were temp stuff), and have worked a full time job pretty much since then. It's an office job, working in superannuation and I'm really good at it. I started at the bottom with no experience but I did well in the interview, and over time have progressed through roles, learned a lot and I get paid pretty well considering my total lack of experience/qualifications.

I'm just so bored of it though and for years have wanted to leave, but am never sure where to begin then I convince myself my job isn't that bad and I'm fortunate to have an income which is all true, but it's just so dull, and not at all something I'm interested in. I've got lots of interests but super/insurance/finance isn't one of them. I'm a good typist so gravitated towards that field but really don't want to spend my life there.

I have checked Seek.com.au (seems to be Australia's most popular jobhunting site) and couldn't find a single job that didn't require previous experience or a degree..except for entry level office jobs :(
