What to do if you regret your career

From Nights, 8:30 pm on 2 April 2025

Do you come home from work with a feeling of regret? Well, you're not alone.

A new study by the employment website SEEK found more than half of New Zealand workers regret their career choice and if they had their time over would choose another line of work.

The survey of more than 1000 workers found not earning enough was the top reason for regret, followed by changing interests and passions, unfulfilling work, and a poor work/life balance.

To provide some advice on what to do if you find yourself in a similar position Emile speaks to Career Coach Tom O'Neil managing director of CV.CO.NZ
