Don\u2019t make a quick switch. <\/strong>Take your time and do your research. Hannon says it usually takes three to five years to change careers.<\/p>\n

Add skills one at a time.<\/strong> Use the time it takes to transition by adding skills to your repertoire.<\/p>\n

Try out the job first.<\/strong> Before diving into a new job, try to moonlight or intern in the field you\u2019re interested in. Don\u2019t sign up for something you\u2019re unaware of.<\/p>\n

Get financially fit. <\/strong>You\u2019re probably going to start your new career at a lower pay grade.<\/p>\n

Have a support network. <\/strong>You need people who are going to support you.<\/em> They may not support your decision, but they\u2019ll help you immensely throughout the transition.<\/p>\n
