Dear Forumers, I am honestly asking for advice and hope to hear from you all . I am actually open to suggestions in other fields pay well and are open to a mid-career change.

The reasons I am considering going into the finance sector are:

1) I'm giving up my research scholarship due to severe animal allergy which I have developed.
Because of this, I'm slapped with a huge debt to repay, in the range of $XXX'XXX amount of money.
I really need a higher paying job than another job in research.

2) The pay would be better than what I am getting.
(i work 80hr++/week) with $50 increment / yr.

3) No huge density of furry animals.
(I have no desire to slowly kill myself everyday, taking lots of pills just to be able to do my job well)

A bit of my background:
- I have a lifescience degree (overseas) 2nd upper hons. Worked in research for about 7 years.
- Have worked as marketing in an MNC for about for less than a year (contract-basis)
- worked in a number of holiday/ad-hoc jobs ranging from clerical to agricultural.
- Very flexible and adaptable character, and willing to work extremely hard, start from bottom.

Many many thanks in advance!
