3 Things To Consider Before You Change Your Career by gideonjeta(m): 5:00am On Nov 28, 2018
Do you feel dissatisfied with your current job and feel like switching to another career path? Well, there is nothing wrong with changing your career if you have a genuine reason for it.
However, before you switch to a new career path, it is important you assess your current situation, weigh your career options and go for the one you are certain would give you more job satisfaction and better pay.
Here are three things you should consider before changing your career.

1. Skills
Your skill is what makes you relevant in any career you choose and that is why it is the first thing you should consider before switching to a different career.
You need to know the minimum skill sets the new career requires of you. You also need to know if your current skills are transferable to the new career. If they are, fine, if they are not, you've got to learn.
For instance, if you wish to change from accounting to digital marketing, it is important you first gain digital marketing knowledge and skills. You can prepare yourself for the career change by attending digital marketing seminars or workshops. You can also register for online courses to equip yourself with the basic knowledge of the profession.

2. Ability to acquire the required skill
While you learn about the needed skills for the new career path, you also have to consider your ability to acquire the skills. For instance, if you're not tech savvy and the career path you're switching to is tech-based, you might struggle to develop an interest in that career.
Again, if the new career requires you to have an expensive certification, it might down your interest if you don't have money to get the certificate. This is why it's important you weigh your options before choosing a new career path.

3. Alternative career options
Lastly, after considering the skills you'll need and realize your inability to acquire them, the next step is to make a list of alternative career options you can easily get. This could be similar career paths that can serve as substitutes or totally different paths that you think match your skills.
Above all, changing a career shouldn't be all about changing a work environment. You need to be sure the job you're switching to gives you more happiness and rest of mind than the current one. You also need to find out everything you need to know about the career path and be sure it has better prospects.

I can never change my occupation , it pay a lot , I made my first 1mill from Adsense and Mgid all from google organic traffic in 2011 even up to date that blog still bring in cash on autopilot , Tho now a days its a bit harder than 7yrs back , money is still being made the main factor is the population of this country if you can just drive 2% of Nigeria's population to your blog you are a millionaire



YOU CAN GO INTO BLOGGING , ITS A VERY LUCRATIVE BUSINESS IF YOU DO IT RIGHT JUST TRY AND INVEST IN BUYING PREMUIM THEMES AND PLUGINS !!

Also do not use nulled themes or free themes gotten of the internet or friends , your site would be hacked in the nearest future if you go down this road !


If you do not have money to buy it outrightly from the developers on themeforest , which sells between 49$ - 70$ (20k - 30k in nairia) You can buy it cheaply from resellers here , click the link below >>>>>

Good. The only snag is that jobs are not available anywhere. The actual jobs now are the ones that tarnish the image of the country, if you know you know. Teeming graduates, no jobs. Many have veered to yahoo plus, yahoo yahoo, oloshoism, etc. And since we do not want to knw where the money is coming from, yes, drug pushing and rituals too. Too bad, a country without values . There is need to create legitimate jobs, if not the illicit will continue to proliferate. Who is talking about skills and changing jobs when you have abundance of skilled workers and no jobs?

These set of rules do not apply to Nigeria...
Who you know determine how fast you go!
Forget skill; where there's bottom power! grin
