Personal Review: Lifes a Bitch and Then You Change Careers: 9 Steps to Get Out of Your Funk and On to Your Future by Andrea Kay Ever since I entered college, I have struggled with understanding the place where I need to be. As a result, I switched college majors 3 times before my junior year. Although a 4.00 student, I had no sincere interest for the subjects and had no vision over my future. I decided that temp work would help me discover my "thing." I was sad to find that nothing seemed to interest me. However, I would not give up. In order to find that stability, I joined the US Air Force. Although an extremely fulfilling experience, I still had that feeling of emptiness inside. How could I fight this? Four years later, I separated from the military and sought out a career in the corporate world. It would not be long before those empty feelings got a hold of me. I found Andrea's book by accident at a local Borders store. The title caught my attention. Yes, life was a bitch!!! There was no denying that! I did not think about it twice and acquired the book right away. It took me around 47 days to finish the book along with each one of the exercises. I was stunned to learn so much about myself. I took the lessons Andrea outlined seriously, as if I had a career coach sitting right next to me. I did not lie to myself, or "cheat." It was now or never. Well, 6 months later I was stunned to find out that all the work had paid off. Now, I work for a very successful firm in the city, got the job for 15K more than I had been making, and have started a Masters degree in Industrial- Organizational Psychology. My life has never felt so balanced before. I find myself enjoying my children more, speaking more to my husband, and just simply enjoying where I am today. I truly feel that this had to be said. Andrea Kay has a gift, and we are lucky enough to be able to share those with her. I wish you success! Dorana For More 5 Star Customer Reviews and Lowest Price:
