The fundamental approach I use to change my career is to focus on research. Online courses and workshops became the main sources through which I gained knowledge about my targeted profession. During my career transformation, I built relationships within my industry then requested guidance from these contacts. This experience helped my personal growth and gives me the right direction.

Engaging in working in your target field helps you to acquire the practical knowledge along with building connections while letting you assess whether it's the right job for you or not. With this, the transition becomes less risky because it lets you collect better information about your new profession.

I would also say that you should try to get a free internship (essentially volunteer) in any field you think you might want to do too. This will not only give you the practical skills to actually hop ship when the time comes, but more so tell you if it's even something that you would even like to do.

A career change can be really overwhelming especially for someone that has been in a particular career for up to a decade. I think the switch has to be taken in bits till a full transition is complete. Trying to do it wholly at once might end up capitulating

A change in career takes planning and courage. When I shifted fields, I started by researching new roles, upgrading my skills, and networking with people in that industry.

I have never changed my career. I started writing when In was still in college and I still make money as a writer. However, writing wasn't sufficient for me to earn a living therefore, along with writing I started also doing a lot of things. I did not change my career, I expanded it.

This hasn’t happened to me, but I imagine navigating a career change would involve self-reflection, learning new skills, networking, and being open to starting small again. It likely takes courage and patience to shift paths and embrace a new beginning.
