Really great video! I started changing my career through retraining but with not much success so far. At what point would you give in to a career change?
It's a really good question @preetizzle. I'd answer it in 2 ways. (1) I like the idea of building a ramp to a new career. Rather than it being an all-in type thing, it's more about getting that training, skilling up, making applications and seeing what the feedback from those applications is. If you get rejections, and you feel even more determined, that's a sign to carry on. If the rejections feel insurmountable or final, it may be worth drilling down into why you want that thing, and from that root point, seeing if other things may give you that same or similar satisfaction. Career change doesn't usually happen all at once. (2) When the benefits of potential change outweigh the costs. Of course this is super simplistic and ignores many of the complexities - including not necessarily being able to weigh the pros and cons, but I feel deep-down it's worth listening to that steer you're getting. How does this sound? Please know that I'm cheering you on @preetizzle. Raj :-)
