If you know a career changer...

 This is what they need:

• Advice.
• Tea.
• Opinions.
• IT support.
• A beer.
• The odd text. 
• Spotify suggestions.
• A good laugh.
• The odd comment on a blog (mentioning no names, Rachel)
• A good cry.
• You to buy the drinks.
• Referrals, recommendations and general word of mouthiness.
• You to mention them to that friend of yours who could be looking for someone.
• Your custom (if appropriate).
• Patience.
• To hear stories of people who hung in there and succeeded.
• That you 'get it'.
• Honesty.
• And tact.
• Probably by now another beer.  (And yes, it's your round again).
• Belief. 

But above anything else...they need you to tell them how much you admire their guts for trying.
