Work/life blog Brazen Careerist offers five ideas to keep in mind when you feel like jumping ship. For example:
- You want more meaning in life. A job does not give life meaning. And anyway, people have been searching for the meaning of life forever. It's a highly disputed topic, and probably too charged an issue to lay on your career.
- You want more happiness. I have said many times that your job does not control your happiness, your mind does. Here's good news, though: You can give your mind a happier disposition by meditating.
The upshot here is to make sure you're not leaving a job for the wrong reasons. If you're considering a career change, give this list a look before you head for the door. Then head to the comments and share some good reasons to leave a job.
