Disease called Debt

A blog about getting out of debt

Think It’s Time for a Career Change? It’s More Likely Than You Think

People tend to underestimate just how much of a detriment their current career choice can be in their life. If you feel like you’re complacent at work, that you’re lazy and don’t want to do anything, or that you simply don’t look forward to work, then it might be time for a career change.

A career switch can help you lead a more fulfilling lifestyle and it can certainly help when it comes to feeling more excited and motivated about your work life. But what can you expect from a new career and should you take the plunge?

Switching careers has never been easier

While switching a career is never the easiest thing in the world, it’s certainly a lot simpler these days thanks to the accessibility of online study and remote workflows, allowing us to get a job virtually anywhere in the world as long as we have the qualifications and a computer.

For instance, you can easily study for a masters in cyber security online and then use that same knowledge to remotely monitor computer systems and business websites to help safeguard them against digital threats. Similarly, you could learn about accounting over the internet and then use that newfound knowledge to become a freelance accountant and work with virtually any company in the world.

The biggest hurdle is arguably experience. A lot of companies demand that you have several years of experience before you can even apply, making it extremely difficult to get started in any career. However, with a bit of luck and searching around, you’ll find that there are many opportunities out there if you start searching for remote placements around the world. There are certainly going to be challenges when it comes to looking for work, but if you open up to international opportunities, then you’ll have a lot more options to pick from.

Everyone gets a little frustrated with their current career at times

Despite all the positive things we’ve said about career changes, there’s always a slight chance that you’re just in a phase where you’re frustrated with your current workplace. For example, maybe you’ve been given a temporary role to fill the shoes of someone who’s on holiday, or maybe one of your managers is going on a bit of a power trip. These things can really harm your experience at work, but they can be temporary things especially if you bring them up to your manager or boss.

So if you still love your job but dislike the environment, then there’s really no need to change your entire career over it. Instead, why not find a different company to work for or even go freelance if it means you can still do the same work that you know and love? This is a much better option than completely dropping the knowledge and experience that you already have, and with your credentials, you’ll find it’s surprisingly easy to find work with a different company or as a freelancer.
