This looks like an ex forces thread going on here & ex forces know all about change as we get thrown back into civilisation.I left Radar & comms in the army & eventually what have i ended up in......radar & comms :rolleyes ..but not until i'd clawed my way back through a number of jobs of varying degrees of boredom & dead ends to get there & if im honest do i like radar & comms...well no but i do like where i work because of the pay,conditions & time off so im not saying that you should stay in warehousing but maybe some warehouses are better than others & perhaps finance & warehousing arent related but what if an accountancy job came up for IKEA, would they prefer an accountant that actually had some kind of a clue about warehouses in general, i like to think they would so i suppose im saying that theres always a transferable aspect from every job.you suggest there is no future in finance/accounting for you yet you are qualified & im sure eventually an opening will come your way, but only if you keep looking & keep applying.theres nowt worse than the guy who moans about not having a chance of getting a job, i thought that, i applied anyway, & i got it, not saying that's you either.


I havent really answered your question here, my best idea based on the little info i have about you - Motorbike/car sales/servicing department.those guys need to be good with figures, finance specialists etc, they need to have some knowledge about how things work, maybe not hands on but still knowledge based & problem solving/discussing.hey dont kill me for the suggestion but you did ask.


I do sympathise, dont give up.
