If you are thinking about a change of direction— stop thinking — just do it.

There is nothing more addictive than a monthly paycheck — and there is nothing more enslaving these days!

Regular money means easier borrowing — to be able to respond to the chatter of insistent life choice adverts — and before you know it, you’re in debt, (which, as anyone who knows their Victor Hugo — is a bad thing.)

Miserable, it does not have to be, though. If you love your profession/vocation/job — if the days flow and you feel worthwhile (that’s many people btw), the pay is the icing on the cake and you do not have to read on.

Still here? You feel tired all the time — you are going through the motions — you feel undervalued/overworked and Covid has made you really think about the point of what you are doing on a daily basis? Think no more — you need to change something — maybe the job — maybe something else…

Where can you find fulfilment — in your career and everything that follows? After all, you have trained hard enough for the one that you are no longer satisfied with…does change involve more work, more investment, more time, more money? And what if the result is the same?
