Women more likely to feel it's never 'too late' to change career, study finds

A poll of 2,000 adults found nearly four in 10 are open to a career change, with many feeling ready to make the move within the next two years Four in 10 Brits are open to a career switch, with half actively seeking their 'calling', according to a survey of 2,000 adults. The study revealed that many will be ready for a change within the next two years, with women most likely to feel this way. Two thirds of woman expressed openness to taking on a different role now that they have a better idea what they want to do in life. The primary motivation for women changing careers was 'pursuing a passion or dream', while men were more driven by the prospect of better pay the survey showed. ‌ ‌ The study also revealed that, on average, respondents considered 52 as the age when it becomes 'too late' to switch careers. But while most women believe it's never 'too late' to embark on a second career, this sentiment shared was shared by only 41 per cent of men. The research was commissioned by British Gas in honour of International Women in Engineering Day (23rd June), following their commitment to recruit 3,500 apprentices by 2030 in green roles such as installing electric vehicle chargers and heat pumps. Kirsty Warren, an engineer for the home services brand who transitioned from a career in social work, said: "It's never too late to go after what you really want - whether in your personal life or career. " She added: "Changing to engineering at 36 was challenging but incredibly rewarding. After years as a social worker, I needed a more hands-on role. Engineering always interested me, but like many women my age, I didn't think it was an option when I was younger. "I loved social work, but when it started affecting my wellbeing, I knew it was time to rethink my future and follow what truly inspired me." Many women know someone who has retrained later in life to pursue a different career. The research also discovered women expressed more of an interest in transitioning to a completely new career or industry compared to men. Key factors driving this trend include the desire for increased flexibility and a more fulfilling career. However, fears of stepping out of their comfort zone, lack of confidence, and concerns about losing a stable income are major obstacles to making the career switch. Kirsty Warren from British Gas, which has also committed to hire 500 former armed forces personnel to retrain as engineers, added: "When I started the apprenticeship scheme, I was met with guidance, patience, and respect – especially from more experienced colleagues who understood I was committed to learning. "This International Women in Engineering Day, I want to say to any woman wondering if it's too late to try something new: it's not. More than half of the women surveyed said the same, so whether you're 26 or 46, if you've found your calling, go after it."

Shocking moment female tourist is bashed in the head with a CHAIR while another topples into pool in Ibiza hotel brawl

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the manic moment a female tourist is clobbered in the head with a flying chair during a violent poolside brawl in Ibiza. The dramatic footage was captured when a fight broke out between raging tourists at the Marco Polo hotel in the Spanish holiday hotspot. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A group of tourists had a chair-tossing brawl in Ibiza Credit: Instagram/SanAntonioIbiza 3 One woman lay by the pool after being whacked by a chair Credit: Instagram/SanAntonioIbiza 3 The violent brawl erupted in, San Antonio, Ibiza Credit: Instagram/SanAntonioIbiza In the dramatic video taken in San Antonio, a group of tourists are seen yelling at each other, with one woman dropping to the floor after being struck. She appears to remain on the floor injured for the rest of the shocking clip, only moving briefly when staffers try to help her up. The fight ramps up when one of the tourists who was also caught in the crossfire steps back before falling into the water. Suddenly, his pal is then hit by a soaring white chair and also falls backwards. READ MORE WORLD NEWS GET A ROOM! Shock moment two brazen tourists are caught in public sex act at hols hotspot The two tourists continue to tread water - until the same holidaymaker that hurled a chair moments before goes in for seconds. He lifts up another poolside chair and proceeds to slam it down into his victim's bald head. A group of lifeguards and security attempt to intervene, but their efforts amount to nothing as the chair-hurling man seemingly ignores them. The two hurt holidaymakers then stay in the pool surrounded by foes, while their opposition continue to shout at and taunt them. One of the men is even seen mocking the victims as he dances by the side of the pool. A seemingly ironic sign, which reads "Good Vibes Only", can be seen by the side of the pool. Moment topless, beer-swilling teens erupt in fistfight behind beach huts in days of seaside yob chaos Online users pointed this out when watching the chaotic clip, with one user saying: "Good vibes only sign does it for me." The account that posted the viral video captioned the brawl: "The chaos was temporary. The memories? Permanent." Other viewers seemed to find the mayhem absolutely hilarious, and heavy speculation suggested the men were all British. One user commented: "Can smell the Stella, Joop and British passports from here." Another said: "Typical British behaviour." But some viewers were outraged by the fight. One account said: "Doesn't look like good fun happening there. Looks too intimidating and aggressive. No thanks." While another said: "Embarrassingly British." It is unclear if the men were British nationals, and the hotel have not commented on the brawl which left one woman lying on the floor. In 2022, two people ended up in the sea when a mass brawl erupted in Ibiza after Brits were reportedly banned from a party boat. The fight saw brawlers punching each other and rubbish bins being used as weapons in the popular resort of San Antonio. The chair-throwing fight also comes after an EasyJet passenger on board a flight to Ibiza was left petrified after a group of rowdy "drunk" Brits turned her journey into a "nightclub". Furious Spaniard Erika Barrachina claimed she suffered a "panic attack" after having to cope with "scum" passengers. The Ibiza resident blasted that these type of tourists should never have been allowed to board the plane in the first place. Shocking footage showed a packed plane with passengers appearing to bang on luggage compartments and yell: "Come on Ibiza!"

Iran conflict: What is the impact on British citizens travelling abroad?

As the world awaits Iran's promised response to US strikes on its nuclear facilities, the ongoing conflict is causing concern and travel disruption among British citizens in the wider Middle East region – and for those planning to travel there. The Foreign Office (FCDO) updated its advice for a swathe of countries over the weekend, following the news that the US had launched a series of missiles on Iranian nuclear facilities. "Ongoing hostilities in the region and between Israel and Iran have the potential to deteriorate further, quickly and without warning since US military strikes against Iran on 22 June,' the FCDO says. How has air travel been affected? Israeli airspace was closed when Israel launched strikes on Iran on June 13 and international flights have been suspended ever since. Some 'repatriation' flights were being permitted to leave Tel Aviv's international airport on Monda,y but most airlines, including British Airways, have suspended their operations to and from Israel. In addition, following the US intervention, flights to Dubai and other parts of the Middle East and Gulf region are also facing disruption. British Airways suspended flights to Dubai and Doha on Sunday and other airlines in the region have altered their schedules. Dubai and Doha are used as hubs for people travelling from the UK to the Middle East and beyond so the disruption will also impact Brits trying to leave Iraq, Syria and other hotspots. BA has also suspended flights to Bahrain and Jordan until the end of June. Flydubai has suspended all flights to and from Iran, Iraq, Israel, and Syria until the end of the month. Lufthansa has suspended flights to Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq. Qatar Airways suspended flights to Iran, Iraq, and Syria until further notice. American Airlines suspended flights to Doha, Qatar until further notice. United Airlines temporarily suspended flights to Dubai, UAE, until further notice. Emirates suspended all flights from Dubai to Tehran, Baghdad and Basra until June 30. Travel experts say that as long as the conflict persists, more airlines could cancel flights or expand existing suspensions to additional countries. Israel and the Occupied Territories – can Brits get out? Israeli airspace was closed on Friday, June 13, when Israel launched attacks on Iran, and civilian flights in and out of Ben Gurion have been disrupted ever since. Some land routes are open to Jordan and Egypt and the Foreign Office is assisting people with those departures. The Foreign Office is also trying to arrange charter flights to evacuate those Brits who are unable to leave by land. However, those flights are not yet operational. Minister for the Armed Forces, Luke Pollins, said on Monday: "We know that land routes aren't available for everyone. "And that's why the Foreign Office is looking at chartering planes to leave from Tel Aviv to return people to safety. "We're working with the Israeli government to understand the airspace restrictions that are in place there. "Clearly, with missiles flying through the air, we need to make sure that any evacuation flights are safe. "And once we've managed to deconflict that, we hope those flights can take off very soon." Later, Israel said repatriation flights, operated by the Israeli airline El Al, would begin on Monday, but would be limited to 50 passengers per flight. Iran – has the advice changed? The Foreign Office has advised against travel to Iran for many years. However, on Sunday it updated its website with the following note: What about other parts of the Middle East ? The Foreign Office updated its advice for Jordan, Qatar, UEA, Saudi Arabia and others on Sunday, warning that 'ongoing hostilities in the region and between Israel and Iran have the potential to deteriorate further, quickly and without warning since US military strikes against Iran on 22 June'. It added: 'Iran aligned militia groups are also likely to continue to conduct attacks. 'The current situation has disrupted air links and may disrupt road links and border crossings. Demonstrations and protest activity may take place.' As well as keeping across Foreign Office advice, British citizens in countries affected are encouraged to
