10 posts on step #1 of making a Career Pivot

This is a good time to summarize making a Career Pivot.  I wrote in the opening post of this series:

Baby Boomers embraced retirement like a religion. It was all the doctrines and fables wrapped up in a 401K: The ant and the grasshopper; sacrifice and paradise; work hard all your life, save your money in an IRA and receive your reward at the end. If you hate your job, retirement becomes that much sweeter. Keep your eyes on the day when, like the beautiful, silver haired couple in the retirement brochure, you’ll be able to quit work and spend your days at the beach.

Most of us will not get to retire.  Get over it!  Step #1 of a Career Pivot is to know yourself and know what you want.  Please read the following posts and see if this is for you.
