Feeling a need to switch careers? There’s no better time to head back to college
October 12, 2011
A career change is not uncommon in today's business world. While there aren't many direct statistics that track the changes over a person's lifetime, it's likely that an individual will change a career at least two to three times over the course of his or her working life. So if you're not feeling satisfied in your current position, now could be the time to head to college and find exactly what works for you.
Higher education is more affordable than ever with the many financial aid options accessible to those who research them. College scholarships and grants are available for people of all age groups, but it is a time-consuming process that you should begin as soon as you start looking into potential colleges.
You should also consult a career counselor before you take the plunge into a degree program. This individual will help you examine your talents and aspirations for the future to find a match that can help you achieve long-term success.
There's no sense in staying in a job you don't like, so consider heading to school to pursue your passion and make your dreams a reality.
