Changing Careers
Roy: Hey Mark, why the blue look on your face?
Mark: Well, I have decided to quit my job. I will put in my notice tomorrow.
Roy: Wow! What made you come to that decision?
Mark: It was not an easy decision to make. I really like the guys there, but overall the work
was not making me happy. I feel I can get better satisfaction out of my work
somewhere else.
Roy: Your line of work does have a lot of transferable skills. I am sure you can use the
skills you developed at your current job in another field.
Mark: I definitely can. I need to find a place to work where I can be passionate about what I
do. I don’t want to be one of those people that just do the daily grind day in and
day out.
Roy: There are a lot of jobs out there these days in the tech industry.
Mark: True. I do not have the technical know-how needed to be an engineer, but with my
sales experience, I could probably sell tech products without a problem.
Roy: Well, best of luck to you Mark, I know how hard it can be to change careers at your
age. I am sure you will make the right decision.
Mark: Thanks Roy!
Discussion Questions:
1. How did you choose your field of study? Did you enjoy it? Why or why not?
2. How did you choose your current job? Did you enjoy it? Why or why not?
3. What is the difference between a ‘job’ and a ‘career’?
4. Have you ever thought about changing your line of work? Why or why not?
5. Is it important to be passionate about your work? Why? Are you passionate about your
current work? Why or why not?
6. What are your future career plans? If you don’t have any, why not?
