The Nation’s annual list of continuing education, colleges and universities
“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never work a day in your life,” or so the saying goes. But in reality, choosing a career is not always a clear-cut process. As people grow older and gain life experience, many develop new passions and skill sets or simply want to try something different.
It’s perfectly fine to shift gears or change directions at any point on your career path. There are plenty of resources available to help you get the education or training you need to find a job in your field of interest. The most important part of planning your education and career goals is to be honest with yourself and to take the time to learn what truly fulfills you as an individual.
