When you first are unemployed most people go through some kind of self evaluation. Most of us go into some "What If?" questioning but usually apply a bit of reality and come back to something somewhere close to where we came from.
This isn't necessarily bad depending on your goals. If you need to have cash flow or really loved your job its okay. But if you didn't have either of those conditions what would you do? How crazy would your ideas get? What would happen if we didn't apply the dose of reality and just asked "What would it take?" and did it?
Would we end up in the Peace Corp? Start a Non-Profit? My guess is what ever we did, we would end up doing something we love and doing it better than anyone else doing it, because we would be passionate about it. It's been said "do something you love and you will never work another day in your life". The more I look at job descriptions the more I think this is true. While I haven't found my perfect job yet I am still looking for what I want to be when I grow up.
Will you have to make sacrifices? Probably but if you really love it you will make the change.Do these changes get more complicated with a spouse and kids and college tuition? Absolutely. But they will never get any easier and there will never be a "right" time. In five years will you be in a better place or just five years older. That is the difference in looking at whats possible.
Today's No Job Joy is looking at what's possible.
