When should you start planning your careerbr1anman
When is the perfect time for a person to plan his/her career? Nobody knows what the exact answer is, but as career pathways experts say, it is never too early to begin planning your career.
Career people are often very competitive and have to work hard to get promoted or find better career opportunities. They often ask themselves: What will I achieve in the next 5 years?
In contrast, people who just choose a job simply don't care what title they have, but just want to earn money to support themselves. The rest of the time they use to pursue their own passions or hobbies.
People who choose a career can hold a variety of jobs when they are promoted, have more experience, demand higher wages, and continue to work hard. Job pickers can also have multiple jobs, but these jobs are sometimes unrelated.

List of top 20 good reasons why to quit your job gracefullyWisestep blog
Quitting your job is more than just saying I quit. You have to prepare yourself for that. In the course of time we get so comfortable even in the worst job on planet that we fear , “what if we don’t get a better job than this?”. It is just a thought but slowly it creeps in to our mind and sits there occupying our whole brain and this little thought doesn’t allow us to explore the opportunities that lie in front of us
This article, while in some ways aimed at those who have recently graduated from college or are about to, takes a look at job satisfaction that anyone exploring the concept for the first time should find useful. Some people are able to live their entire lives whilst being able to tolerate a miserable existence at work. Yet it seems as though more and more people are fed-up with having to live such a duality...rather, they want to feel satisfied and fulfilled with their work.
While it's nice to see the depersonalisation and mechanisation of labor that has occurred over the past 100+ years is being in the real world...where do we draw the lines here? At some point you have to just say "work is work" and march along so you can pay your bills each month, right?
Well...Yes. But much more importantly, no. Regardless of if you're currently unemployed or currently working a job that you hate, at the very least there's a better way of looking at things. And more than likely, there's probably a more satisfying way of doing them.
