Boy I know that feeling so well…ooching up close to the edge, peeking over, your pulse quickening, your heart racing all before you take that big jump. But let me tell you, being single is a GREAT time to take the leap into a new career. You have no one depending on your time or income. You might not have to let go of your current job or career before you take the plunge. I needed to do that emotionally and physically to make it happen. There are all sorts of ways to make it happen: get a roommate to cut expenses, get a part time job (I did temp work and then was a receptionist and also substitute taught), move back home ( I did for about a year). And before I made the actual leap, I kept trying things. I remember I had some friends who were flight attendants, so I applied. Didn’t even get an interview. If you have an interest in an area, then maybe take an evening class and get your feet wet to see how you like it and if it fuels your interest. Sounds like you’re doing the right thing though: keep praying and keep your eyes open for God to open doors!

Blessings,

Leanna

I really want to change careers but I don’t know what to?(I am currently an accountant.) I am single so I don’t have a second income to rely on as I change careers. I keep praying and keep my eyes open to where I could possible move to.
Thanks for your post.
