STARTING OVER
Introduction...
man entering employment office Starting over is possible, even in difficult economic times. It takes time and hard work, but it is being done. In fact, starting over will be every worker's job, at some point. The average person has to go job-hunting eight times during his or her life, The average person will change careers at least three times.

In other words, don't waste your energy wondering, "What can I do to avoid having to start over?" Ask yourself instead, "What can I do to keep on learning and growing, in both in my work and in my life?"

Despite the myth that people only contemplate career change in mid-life, 90 percent of those who change careers are not in mid-life. People can and do change careers at all ages.
