There are a few things you have to do when considering making a career change. First you should identify your likes and dislikes by doing a self assessment. Then you need to research what careers are available in your field of interest. Decide what transferrable skills you have that you can move over to the new career. You will have to decide whether it will be necessary to upgrade your education or take training for your new line of work. Start networking. Work evenings or weekends to gain experience for your new career. It can be helpful to find a mentor to help you through tough situations. In changing careers you do not necessarily have to change employers. This is something to consider. Refresh your job hunting skills. Set goals for yourself, but don't shy away from change.
