You Really Need A
Career Change If...

The Good...

The things that let you know that you need a career change:

• Your friends keep telling you to take your passion up professionally, and they mean it!
• you make more money from your job on the side than from your regular employment
• you can hardly wait until the end of your working day so you can go home to your hobby/passion
• you fantasise about how to make money from your hobby/passion

The Bad...

You know you're in the wrong place and there's a career change needed when:

• The original reason for taking on the current job no longer applies
• you no longer getting from work what you want to be getting
• you can only relax at the weekends when you're not at work
• your life and your work are two separate things
• you're not quite sure how you ended up in this job and your instinct is telling you that you shouldn't be there

And the Ugly...

And you know there's definitely a career change needed if:

• you go to work only so you can have a bed indoors and eat three meals a day
• you're anticipating your retirement, and you are only 32 years of age
• you feel you're only living in the hours between your shifts at work
• you consider your work 'work'
• your friends are tired of hearing you say 'I need a career change!'
• You feel you are diagonally parked in a parallel universe!
