| Change profession or direction? |
This may be the hardest question for you to answer if you are unsure about
your current career path. You should take some time out to think about a
radical change in your career/life as this may have major implications later
on in your career.
You should talk any major changes through with your partner (if you have
one) as this may have a significant impact on their life, if it means a
period studying (when you are not earning) or a period when you have to
take a cut in salary to get on the first rung in your new profession.
You will need to gather as much information as possible on your new profession
before making a final decision, including which qualifications are needed
(if any), how you can study for the qualifications (full-time, part-time,
evening courses, distance learning, etc), where you can study and how you
can obtain relevant work experience. It is also a good idea to see if there
are any work placements to give you a taste of the job (you do not want
to study for something and then find you hate it!). Find out too what people
in the profession think are the high spots and what are the low spots of
the job.
