Is a Career Change Right for You?

So, you’re thinking about finding a new job, eh? How do you know that making a career change is right for you?

Because our career impacts several aspects of our lives (financial provision and well being, enjoyment of life/work, etc.) making any change — especially a major change — is a difficult decision and process.

Here are some questions to ask yourself when contemplating a career change:

1. Are you changing careers for the right reasons? Some people want to change jobs to run away from problems at work (whether real or perceived). The bad news it that problems, if not properly dealt with, can often follow us to the next job. Others want to change jobs for more money. Some want a job that is more fulfilling or gives them a greater sense of work-life balance. What’s your reason for changing careers?
2. Do you have what it takes? You may have the desire to change jobs, but do you have the skill and ability it’ll take to find that next job? There are lots of great career change resources out there, and career coaches can help too, in finding the work you’ll love.
3. Can you afford to make the switch? Can you search for your new job while working in your current job? If not, do you have a financial cushion to help you through the transition? Will you need to go back to school to get the job you want? If so, have you checked out the possibility of a grant, scholarship, student loan or educational assistance from your current employer? Can you afford to take the time to look right now, given everything else that is going on in your life?
4. Is there a demand for your chosen profession? Many of the top jobs or today were never thought of ten years ago. So think about the career you’d like to get into. Will it be around in ten years? If so, how do you think it will change? Think in terms of technology, energy, politics, etc. We can’t anticipate everything, but we need to do our best thinking…and we need to ask leaders in the profession for their thoughts of what it’ll look like down the road. Here’s a list of the top careers for the next decade.
