Putting my ducks in a row to leave my current job next year. I am currently working as an admin assistant and tired of it. While I get along with my manager and coworkers, I need to move on. I am currently studying for my first certification and taking the exam next month. I have been studying non-stop and this preparation is helping me focus on bigger and better things. I don’t want to give away what I am studying for, but it will give me a leg up to start my new career path. I stopped looking for a job so I could focus on my cert studies. Most of the recruiters were wanting to place me in similar jobs and I did not want to make a unilateral move. I heard that we are headed toward another recession, well did the one really end after 2008? I am not letting mainstream media buzz derail my career goals.

It’s not a buzz, recessions are cyclical, in terms of real estate and markets effected by it, every 15 yrs has been the historical occurrence. Good luck on your endeavors.

Why would you let anything derail your plans? The media nor the economy should not factor into your goals.
Believe in yourself.

Stay focused and don't settle.

You've got this!! As others said, keep focused on your plans. The media loves to induce fearmongering and I don't subscribe.
As the other commenter said, the economy works in a cyclical way -- nothing we can control at a macro level.
So you might as well, keep doing you! Good luck.
