Undecided?

You’re not alone…

Editor’s note – The two next paragraphs were written by the anonymous storyteller for “TRADE – DOG GROOMER“. She is not “college educated” but here proves that is not necessary for being able to achieve career success and then ably offer her career path perspectives:

“Choosing a career can seem like a limiting experience because choosing a particular path requires excluding all other options. This thought pattern can lead to anxiety and paralysis of action. Each of us, after all, have many talents and are capable of innumerable successes in whatever direction.”

“There are many individuals who go from one pursuit to the next as life unfolds. Do not be afraid to pursue one dream fully committed, as you can put your other dreams on the ‘back burner’ and attend to them at a later date.”

MULTIPLE EXAMPLES OF CHANGING CAREERS

When this project of collecting real life career stories was only one year old, the editor had already talked to more than two dozen adults who had set out on one career path and then, for various (good) reasons, changed course to an entirely different career. For example (including reference to the full story):

* Priest to foreign service to corporate attorney

* Artist to Marine Biologist

* Intellectual Property Attorney to B & B Inn proprietor

* College Flunk-Out to High School Science Teacher

* Nanny to Sales Support to Project Manager

* Stockbroker to Oncologist

* Physician to Banker

* Part-Time Jobs to Real Estate Sales

* Attorney in Large Law Firm to Real Estate Broker

* Bank Teller to Teacher

* Army Ranger Officer to Hospital Administrator
