A merican workers at all levels are finding themselves assessing their career goals either because they have suddenly lost their jobs or have decided to change occupations while they still have the desire and ambition.
Bolles discusses what leads some people to change their career direction.
It is a law of the '90s that jobs can alter profoundly in a day and a night. For example, workers have seen their jobs morph before their eyes as they are given more responsibilities without a raise in pay or recognition. But as we move through the various stages of our life, our work becomes increasingly a matter also of how our soul lives out its dreams. These days it is not uncommon to run into a sales manager who was once an accountant, a computer analyst who now owns a small business, or a teacher who became a consultant. Whatever the reason, people are out there changing their careers and trying to make themselves happier and more fulfilled.
