Six Reasons Why I Switched My Decade Long Profession
What you should do before making a profession switch
In the middle of the 2000s, I was studying business at the university. I was thrilled and dreaming to achieve big in upcoming life. My mentors were inspiriting me of a bright future and I was eager to embrace it. I completed my Masters in Business Administration with a decent GPA.
I wished to employ my skills by pursuing a business career as my family was already in the business. I was gearing up for joining them with a new set of ideas in my mind.
Surprisingly, my family wasn’t impressed by the idea of business rather they asked me for the job. I tried, but I’ve to follow as it was decided. I was shattered and dejected by the situation to leave my dream aside and to go for the 9 to 5 job.
I spent 10 years of my life, where I never wanted to be. It was my first job after my studies, I spent all energies of my young age at the job. I learned about different tools of professional life. I met people and made friends.
Salary in my country wasn’t great even for qualified professionals. I started my career at $2,000/year. It wasn’t the one I loved, but, I continued and left at $8,000/year after almost a decade.
