4. Be realistic. Changing careers sometimes means starting over. Be prepared to entertain pursuing another degree or taking an entry-level job. It may take several years of "moving uprepparttar ladder" before you are able to securerepparttar 125555 position you want. Being realistic inrepparttar 125556 beginning will help you stay focused on your long-term goal.

5. Reduce your spending. One truth about change is that it is unpredictable. While you still haverepparttar 125557 security of your current job, start to cut back on your spending and save more money. This will help prepare you forrepparttar 125558 transition (in case you take a pay cut or need to return to school) and will serve to alleviaterepparttar 125559 added pressure that financial strain can cause.

5. Skills you've learned. If you've been at your job for any length of time, you've learned a few things that you didn't know when you got there. When you open your mind you would be amazed at allrepparttar things you can still learn. You can always learn more aboutrepparttar 125554 business, customer service, relationships, technology, and a slew of other things if you keep your eyes open to opportunities.

6. Listen to what your friends are saying. There are a lot worse places to work than where you currently are. People always thinkrepparttar 125555 grass is greener onrepparttar 125556 other side ofrepparttar 125557 fence, but they forget it still needs to be mowed (and weeded and watered). There are some people out there would envy where you work and what you do.

I firmly believe in loving what you do. Life is too short to waste time working at a job you dislike. But if you find yourself in a position whererepparttar 125558 timing isn't right for you move, whateverrepparttar 125559 reason, use these ideas to help you appreciate (and even love?)repparttar 125560 job you're in.
