Let’s relate and dig into my career change story

Hopefully you would like to know?

I can picture you nodding your head, and if not then please do!

Anyways, I used to own a perception that I was never the one who says I have no idea what I’m doing with my life.

Honestly, medicine as a career option wasn’t my cup of tea.

Want to guess why?

Simply, because the sight of hospitals used to scare the crap out of me.

My dad used to say that you will faint before treating the patients!

Well, he was right.

I refuse to choose a business career path because I had more of a scientific mind.

So what’s my point?

I filtered my career choice through the elimination method.

I’m sure you are with me on this one that the majority of the people choose their career through trial and error method.

It all boils down to this that I was so sure that complications would never seep into my life as I HAD a clear vision.

You must be wondering had I compromised on computer science purely?

Well, no.

I treasured an interest in solving problems, innovating new stuff, and accepting challenges.

All in one packed in computer science!

After having done my A-levels in computer science and a freshmen year, my brain came back to senses.

It finally decided to spill new confusing career ideas.

It suggested starting over.

Here is the interesting part, I questioned myself what do you think you are doing?

The next scene was landing up in the registrar’s office with a major change form.

How did I get into a new career?

Felt neglected by my other skills.
Tough routine (8 am till 7 pm) of computer science kept me stagnant.
Realized not being 9 to 5 people.
I can’t sit in front of the screen and code for hours . . . boring for ME.
Interested in motion graphics, documentaries, designing, and town planning, etc.
These all areas of my interest were offered in Communication and design.
Worked great in computer science but not gifted.

My personal perception:

I need to be above average to compete in the race.

I wanted to become a master of one, surely not computer science.

Career change ideas of people will force several questions to burn through your head.

Like a blazing fire!

Popping questions when starting over:

How will I finance a new career, this is way too costly?

No to starting over.

It will burden me with a greater sense of responsibility so I should stay where I am what if I lose even what is in my hands?

How I kicked my fears?

I shifted from CS to CND (communication and design) and I heard several whispers. Some loud enough!

It all boils down to ignoring those whispers.

Being on scholarship at the university, I could read several eyes pleading.

Asking to embrace the suck of my new decision!

Those eyes suggesting you deserve better than communication and design.

My ear allowed statements like science students shifting to humanities?

Want to guess what the other ear did? Yeah thrown such statements about my midlife career change out!

Taking a risk is the best favor which you can do to your life, to yourself

Why do some people not choose a new career and remain satisfied?

Unsatisfactory shitty jobs or careers will make your life a living hell.

A surge of regrets will follow ahead.

So avoid that . . . be ready for a quick career change. A journey of setting yourself free.

Want to know why?

At least their bills are getting attention.

But guess what you should realize in a nick of time?

A protest should waver on your lips if your job != passion.

Stick with me now.

Your mind has left you all alone.

It is harassing your decision and asking to choose for yourself.

Fortunately, there’s a simple solution . . .

Refer back to your values: You do not need any counselor to tell you the idea, your values will do that for you.

Values for career change at 25

This was the major mistake that I made when I was diving into computer science.

I did not reflect on my values.

If you are looking for a career change then it is vital for you to tap into your value system.

What is the value?

The thing which keeps you moving – the pivotal force.

Every goal which you have stems from your value

Value → goal [accomplishments & milestones] → purpose [your true calling & the passion which ends when you die]

The values are meaningful directions.

Next time when you weigh any career, weigh the meaning (value) the career has for you.

What most people do is take the opposite route.

The reality is the value is a compass. The first element in the career selection chain.
