The Career is Always Greener on the Other Side
Is it time for you to make a career change? Do you envy your friends for having found jobs that they love to do and people who enjoy waking up in the morning because they get to go to work? Maybe it is time for you to consider a career change. It really doesn’t make any difference how old you are or what your background might be now, you can always take the first few steps toward finding the career that you were meant to have in your life.
At some point, you will know it is time to make a change, though this does not mean you must leave your current employer. Consider other positions internally before you even start looking elsewhere. Talk to your HR department about the possibilities, but just inquire, don’t threaten to leave or put all your cards on the table until you are ready to do so.The saddest thing to me, as an HR executive, is to see someone wasting away mentally in a job they hate. Often times, they feel locked in because they know they can’t make as much money anywhere else. If this sounds like you, why not consider retraining or going back to school to try something better or more interesting? Staying in a dead end job hurts you in every way. The stress of this could cause you to develop diseases that might not have set in, under different circumstances.
So put yourself out there and change your career. It really doesn’t matter if your 50, 75 or older. Remember Ms. Therese’s favorite saying, “IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO BECOME THE PERSON YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN.”
Great post! Very encouraging.

I agree 100%! It is never too late to reach for our dreams. Now that I am achieving success in my goals of weight loss, this positive attitude is spreading throughout my life. I like to write as you know and try to inspire others to a happier and healthier lifestyle. Well, a friend of mine encouraged me to look into becoming a writer. So I did and now I am a columnist for a local newspaper. I believe with the right attitude we can achieve our goals and it is never too late to start. I wrote a similar article to yours about how we are never too old or too out of shape to start to exercise and reach for your goals. If you have not already done so, please take a look as you have the time.
I love your attitude. Thanks for your comments on my article. I appreciate them. I left you a reply as well. God Bless and Take Care.
Your friend,
Brian, the old man
