Have you ever made a dramatic change in careers?
Per the title, have you ever made a big career change? If so, how did you do it? What are good things to know? What industry did you switch to and why?
I am currently in my 6th year of working in the corporate/tech world; I have a good job, an MBA degree, and years of experience. I spent many years trying to get to where I am, and am proud of the efforts I’ve put in.
With that being said, I truly don’t know if I am meant to be sitting in a desk all day, and especially for 12 hours straight on some days. I bore very easily, and just feel my personality and motivation are fading day by day.
I’ve always dreamed of working in for an outdoors conservation effort, or maybe even in the culinary space. But would these be too far gone given time requirements to get into them?
TLDR: I’m pondering the idea of drastically changing my career after spending years in the industry and earning a masters degree. Have any of you done that and what is your advice if so?
Thanks
