CHOOSING a new career can be made easier by doing some homework, says Peter Weiniger in a Seek Communications article.
People should look at occupations that will give them a high level of personal satisfaction but should still be realistic about their choices, Mr Weiniger writes.
“Ask yourself:
• How many hours per week do I want to work?
• How much do I need to earn to live comfortably?
• Will I be satisfied with the social status of my new company, position and title?
• How complex does my new career need to be to keep me challenged?
“Having answered the above there is another reality to examine – how will this affect my family?” he writes.
