As a career changer myself, I resonate a lot with "change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change". Thanks for the inspiring words, I like your blogs a lot and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and great suggestions.

“I drove to a campsite a few hours away and spent the next week in seclusion, hiking around all day and going through some of the exercises in the career books. “

love that. That sounds really fun to me.

“Soul searching is a lot of hard work and takes a lot of time, and it's really difficult to focus and be honest with yourself about who you are, vs. who you want to be.”

I also like the quote about change.

Just want to add a little bit of my own experience Tania because you were a part of it 'lol'. I began my career change in 2017 by spending ALL of my free time learning how to code while trying to raise an autistic boy being a married father with a business of my own that while relatively successful, I hated. YOU were probably one of only 3 bloggers I followed on my self-education path. Like you, I took on small freelance jobs to build a portfolio. Then in December of 2020, I closed the doors of my business, built a personal website and began putting out resumes, and within a 3 week period had a full time, remote web development position. And right now, this morning, I am sitting in Florida on my first paid vacation in almost 15 years. I want to thank you for your help. You are right, finding what is best for YOU is the best thing you can do in life. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
