To change or not to change Careers
• Troubleshoot your dissatisfaction– External: Personalities? Duties? Culture? Security? Wages?
Outlook? Physical environment?– Internal: Do you continuously need new challenges? Are you
experiencing other life changes that affect your job satisfaction?
• Continue to set achievable goals for yourself– In some cases, happiness is a conscious choice we make
and work towards everyday. • What can you change in a positive way? • What do you need to accept if you decide to continue on your
current career path or change?
