Can You Afford to Change Careers?

 

After the pandemic, 36 million people filed for unemployment. Many more were furloughed, had their hours cut, or were persuaded to retire early.

If you were impacted by the pandemic, or you are seeking a career change away from your current industry, your first questions are undoubtedly…

How much money do I need to make with my new career?

 

Should I make the change now… or wait?

And if you’re still employed, you might wonder if you can actually afford to leave your current job. Add your bills, family, and other responsibilities, and you may worry that a career change just isn’t in the cards.
