Default Re: Career Advice

Hi Mike, Just wanted to point out that stats say a typical person will change 'careers' 7-10 times in his/her lifetime. You have a huge advantage as your young and WILLING to work (much needed in this society these days). Sometimes, the world does not move fast enough for you but suffice to know you need to evaluate your goals constantly. I would suggest you take a few months to set some realistic goals for the next year, 5 years, 10, and 15 years. The few months investment may help (since your still 'employed') put things in focus AND give you a chance to select where you want to go and what you want to do. Sorry, there is NO magic involved, just some serious soul searching and a plan. The start of which is a personal inventory (realistic) and goal setting. Once you start planning you will find the plan is more fluid than you may have originally thought, so be prepared for a 'leap of faith' or settling down until things improve. Good suggestions abound so far! Sit down and start on a plan, after that it is all up to you. Good luck!
