I am currently undergoing a gradual 'on the job' career change.
I was originally employed for my firm involved in buying big commercial properties, but as the market is dead these days and the boss ( who is extremely wealthy ) interest is wavering , i have more and more become involved in looking after his art collection.
Started about 6 years ago, 100% property, 3 years ago it was about 90% property 10% art, in the last 6 months it has become 80% art and 20% property.
I know f-all about it, but still have to go to to galleries and places like SOthebys and Christies to discuss purchases and sales.
It's interesting and different to anything I have done before, so I don't mind at all,
Still picking up the same salary as well, despite doing a lot less pressurised and time consuming work.
