I ask many of my clients, who range from their 30s on up, “Would you trust an 18-year-old to make life-changing decisions for you?” When they look at me funny and say, “Of course not,” I just point out, “Well, you did. After all, you’re still in the same career you picked when you were choosing your college major!”

Lots of people feel tied to their jobs by a sense of responsibility to the job, their family, or simply by the golden handcuffs of salary and benefits. But there are always more options than you think there are, and exploring them can open some truly wonderful doors in your life.
