Changing Careers

The desire to change careers builds as you go from job to job until one day it can no longer be ignored.  For some, it is an increasing burning to do something they’ve always wanted to do.  For others, the prospect is daunting and scary, a voyage into the unknown.

It helps to have an idea about your work style.  Is it corporate, small business, home-based, manufacturing, service-oriented, creative, self-boss?  Are you management material or are you a follow-the-leader type?   If being a follower suits you, then go for it and choose a leader whose traits you admire.

Make your career multi-purpose by mixing and matching your interests.  Add to your skills and certification base by learning how to do something totally unrelated to your job or career.
Volunteer with an organization whose work you respect or get mentored by someone totally unlikely who are has been degreed by the School of Life.
Take some of the money you make and use it to improve your manners, your etiquette, and your speaking voice, you dining manners, your courtesy habits and wardrobe; upgrade your accessories and personal habits
