Career Change the Safe Way
Sometimes I think it’s that I am simply scared, but I have decided to take the safe route to making the career shift. I am moonlighting at other things while continuing employment at my “safe” job. I call this jobrepreneuing. Of course, there are at least two problems with this: 1) I am tempted to focus on my moonlighting activities and not enough on my main job, and 2) I am not able to fully devote myself to my career change.
Starting this blog (and a couple others) is the first step to me moving away from my current work. I am unsure of the career path that I will be following, but it will have something to do with information sharing. It could be in the form of writing, teaching, speaking or all of the above. But for today, I need to remember to do a great job for those who employ me.
Remember, if you take the safe route, don’t give less than your best to your FIRST employer!
