If you've followed our posts throughout the week, you should know enough about your new career choice to make a decision.
Maybe you've found that your choices aren't as great as you thought they would be? Don't give up!
You can start over and pick a few more new career choices and keep doing the same research until you do find something.
If you do have a choice or two that has kept your interest, it's time to take action.
Gather all of your research and look at educational and skill requirements. It's very likely that you already have some of the skills needed already but make a list of ones that you may need to acquire. Decide if you really need to go back to school or if there's a free or low cost workshop whether online or close to where you live so you can get up to speed.
You may also want to talk to a career counselor. They can help you narrow down your choices and look at how you might fit into a new or different position. You can ask them if they can provide some career aptitude tests to make sure you will be a good fit.
It's important to remember that if you're unhappy or unfulfilled in your current job, take steps to make it better. Work is a very important part of our lives and we spend most of our waking hours working. That's a lot of time to spend unhappy and it won't get better until you take action to make it better.
