Reading around other's views of "career"

It is important not to get "knee jerk" reactions to career concerns or challenges.
A steady and well researched approach is vital.

Making minor modifications to a current career through to a radical re-route and everything in between are all examples of "change".
To effect change needs several things explored....to know what you are, to know why you got where you are, to know what you want more of ( less so what one wants less of), to know what is out there and how you fit with that and to know what your ideal dream is ( because if you don't know that you can't even begin to work towards it or something close to it).

Below are some links that you may find useful for some preliminary reading around making modifications to your working life and steering your career a direction that fits you well.
