it's probably one of the hardest decisions you can make. Changing careers could make or break your future. it's either opening the door to a better opportunities and much better life or lead you back to another cycle of frustrations. when do you think is the best time to change a career?

I gave up my career as a medical researcher to raise my boys. I took up another career - as a romance writer when I was over 40. I am now back in medical research part time, but my domestic engineer duties and romance writing are my passion.

I'm not sure there is ever a "best time." It's something that you just have to do... take a leap of faith. It's scary, but if you spend your whole life waiting for just the right time, then it may never come. Good luck!

Yes i recently changed my career and now changing again. Its very risky and full of mental tension to get settled. But life is so competent that we need to find our place in it. Till then these changes are required.

exactly what i'm scared of - the risk and tension my emotional pain tolerance is very low, but you're right we indeed need to find our place.

i guess it's really up to the person when is the best time to change career.for me,i guess if you have reached your goal in the company and there's no more room for improvement then,it's time to move on.i have changed my career at the age of 32 and i haven't regret a bit.

i think no one can tell you the right time.. all i can say is, if you think that you are not happy to your career rigth now or luck of opportunity ever since you got to your career then i think this is the right time for you to change or shift to another and don't forget to pray so that you shoul be bless.. good luck to your career..
