Switch Careers to Be Happier

This article is talking about how some people may be unhappy in their careers. Unhappiness most likely means your career isn't right for you. The article suggests switching careers. Switching careers is extremely common right now. The average person switches careers every 4.4 years. The article suggests having flexibility with your hours and vacation times. One flexible option is being an SEO writer or sales representatives. If one wants more money, he or she could be a management consultant, who earns a six-figure income, or an actuary. To have more satisfaction, you could be a health care manager or education administrator.

I think being happy in your job is extremely important. Say the average person works eight hours a day, that's approximately half of your waking hours at your job. It would be terrible to spend half of your time at an unhappy setting. I think I want to be a dentist. This would be a good career for me because it would make me very happy. It would make me happy because I would earn a lot of money. It would also make me happy because the hours would be relatively flexible. I wouldn't have to take call like some doctors. I would hopefully be able to choose vacation times. I wouldn't mind being a pilot either. I'm excited to have my own career.

  1. Leah, I agree. Why would you spend half your time doing something that makes you unhappy? I think way too many people are in that situation too. I'm glad you have a good idea of what job will please you. Maybe you can combine the dentist and piloting professions-- you could clean teeth on planes?
