Career change.

Career change.

I went from preparing to be professional musician to practicing law to finance to running a startup. Sometimes I see conversations about how to look for a job that constitutes a career change. While the tactics for each person will depend on them and the specific change they're trying to make, I thought I'd share my thoughts/encouragement today.

Throughout all that career change I went through, the number one thing I learned is that what you're doing if you are thinking of making a big change is investing in yourself.

You are betting that (a) you can do it, and (b) that trying and failing -- though a possibility -- is in itself better than not trying at all. I thought I'd share this for everyone here who might be wondering if it's worth it to change careers when looking for a new job.
