Starting a new career is something that most people would prefer not to think about. Even if they are unhappy in their jobs and dissatisfied with their career direction, the thought of starting over can be intimidating to many people. This tendency increases with age because the more time you have invested in a career, the less likely you are to be willing to move away from it.
Based on current economic conditions however we may no longer have a choice. With unemployment at a 14 year high and with over 1 million Americans losing their jobs in 2008 alone, the economic meltdown is impacting entire industries, not just individual companies. The experts believe that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future and that it will completely reconfigure the global employment picture.
Despite the old adage of being unable to teach old dogs new tricks, learning a new career need not be as difficult as it sounds. Even if you have been working for a long time and are years removed from school, moving into a new career can be a pretty straightforward process. The key is to find a work and employment environment that meets your needs and that will allow you to achieve your goals.
It might also be a blessing in disguise because if you are currently unhappy with your job and your career, being forced to start a new one might in fact be a life-changing event that you need to take you to new levels of success and happiness. Many people stay in a career because they feel they have no options, even though they are unhappy and unfulfilled. For many, losing a job is the catalyst required to reinvent oneself and to go on to much bigger and better things.
