Week #13 What Color is Your Parachute?

I'm sure everyone has had the thought of changing careers before. I know I have. In chapter 11 of What Color is Your Parachute? I learned the five ways to choose / change careers. Before I go into the list of ways to change careers I would like to say that there is no problem with wanting to change careers after. It's not a big deal. Some of my friends have made such big deals about changing jobs because they thought people would look at them different. That should not matter. You do what makes you happy. Ok rant over, on to the list.

1. The internet
2. Tests
3. Using the flower exercise 
4. Changing a career in two steps
5. Finding out what the job market may need

The job market is always a good place to look for a job. The only problem with looking into the job market is, you may not find a job you want but you'll find a job the job market wants. That could be good and bad. Good because you may get to experience a job you never thought you would do and bad because you might end up doing a job you hate. In my personal opinion I think looking to see what the job market needs is a great place to dig into. You never know what you could find. Heck I would totally apply for a job that the job market needs just to get my foot in the door somewhere. It's good to get all kinds of experience. That is what most jobs look for when you apply, what kind of experience do you have. The more experience you have the better shot you have at getting a better job. So, there is no shame going out and finding a job you may not want to do, you could end up falling in love with it. No matter what it'll be a learning experience. I think thats what matters most.
