Are you looking for a new job - or a new career: Part 1
by Jess Taylor (July 21, 2006)Do you look forward to going to work each day?
If not - why not? If you don’t love what you do, if you’re not excited about it - it’s time to take a good, hard look at why. Is what you are doing something you enjoy? Do you get to utilize all of your skills and abilities? Do you work in an atmosphere you find inviting?
If you’ve answered no more often than yes, it’s no surprise that you’re here and that you’re considering a new career. So now it’s time to consider the next question - is it the what or the where that is sending you in search of information and help? And the answer can dramatically affect your next step: are you going to search for a new job or do you need to consider what you’ll need to do to take your life in a whole new direction?
I throw the question open to all of you to ask yourselves - is it the job or is it the career?

I really do not know what I would be good at. One thing
that I know that I am good at is dealing with the public
I have been thinking of going to a community college,
I just do not know what I want to do, so if you can
assist me in anyway I would appreciate

Lia,
That often depends on the individual college or university - many of them allow you to begin taking a few classes early and then transfer them in once you’ve either graduated or completed a GED. Talking to the admissions representative is always a great idea to find out their individual policy.
