I have had three main career changes in my life, and I would dearly love to try a fourth. Each change has meant study, a temporary drop in income, a steep learning curve, and sense of leaving my past completely behind me.
The first choice (music) was an obvious continuation from high school strengths, but very poor in terms of earning a living. The second choice (retail) was a successful attempt to gain regular income, but poor in terms of mental stimulation. The third (IT) was great for income and mental stimulation, but poor in terms of flexibility.
What is your method of choosing your career? Did your first choice work out for you, and what factors would influence you now if you were to choose again?
