if you are happy where you are..stay.  Change is always good as long as you are able to supoprt yourself and your child.  Give it a chance...plus there are more jobs in your related field where you are now.  New people, new job, this can be scary but not bad.  I admire you for having the strength to do it in the first place.  Stay where you are for at least 2 years and then decide if you think things where you are could work to your advantage.  Good Luck!

let me say this\nthe best time to look for anew job is while you still have your job..\nthis way your getting a pay check and if you have to go on an interview you either go home early or call in for vacation day or use sick time.. or even if you take the day off and do not get paid for that day..\nyou go back tomorrow and still have a job..\nSO this is the best time to look for a job.. is when you have a job..\nAND I would not worry about your HR finding out..most high earners are always looking to see what's out there..just in case they can get more money ..then they go for it...\nif they ask you..just tell them..your just curious to see what out there..that you really do not have any intentions of leaving..this would be a god time to bring up the raise and more benefits your are looking for ..ask them if they can give you more...if they say NO WAY..just smile and ask one more time..then smile and say no problem..I love it here..and MEAN IT..say can't blame a guy for trying..HA HA..\nand star really looking HARD for a new job..once they ask you..then you are better off getting a new job..\nbut if you do not start looking now..you may be forced taking a job you do not want just to make a pay check\nGood Luck\nand God Bless\nsmile

No, not at all. I am 39 and I hv changed career thrice and all the time with grand success. It is all on a person's judiciousness about time and money management.

focus on 1 career path at once.\n\ntry things. start something.\n\nthen you'll know what goes and what doesn't, for you.\n\nyou can always change the track if it is totally wrong.\nbut, usually it isn't. you need to give dedication to something... then you'll know better.\n\nI guess.

What are your qualifications?  Start hitting the proverbial pavement and look at newspapers, websites, job fairs, and magazines targeted at the industry you want to work in.  I looked for over 18 months before I found my job, and I made sure that I wasn't hired on a specific contract, but with the company itself.  Good luck!!

Yes, it shows stability and committment. People who jump from job to job every two years say one thing to me. They are never happy or don't get along well with other people. Not a good work ethic. But longevity is always a plus. Just make sure the reason for leaving isn't because you wanted a change. List something like no more room for advancement or something like that.

I don't know, but I've been looking for a new job.

I don't think you are supposed to remain in one career only.  It's human to be curious and seek out new challenges.  You should rise to the challenges your career path brings to you.  Too many people work at jobs they hate, day in, day out, without any personal satisfaction.

First of all are you really ready for a change? And is money the only factor you look for in an employment opportunity.\n\nAlso, think about this: Would you truly be satisfied if you made more money?\n\nYou should really think long and hard about what you want to accomplish on a new job before you leave your present one.\n\nWhen you figure out the answers to these questions you are ready to make a change......

Very simple:  If you are unhappy in your current employment situation, and you see a better opportunity elsewhere, investigate it by all means... but make sure everything promised to you is in writing.  Also, don't quit your current job until you research everything about this new company.  I'd hate to see you burn a bridge without knowing all the facts.  Good luck.

how come people cant find another job while they are employed??? This always baffles me. LOOK FOR A JOB WHILE YOU WORK THERE AND QUIT WHEN YOU FIND ANOTHER ONE!

Most people would think that it is right to start looking for another one right away.\nI would first of all try to enjoy doing that work.\nIf not, then try changing it.\nThen if it has really no hope with it, then find another one.\nFor some professional, you may find that it is very tough in the first few years but after that may be you get used to it or find the JOY of doing it and then enjoy working.\nIf you quit quickly after you found that it is bored or not as expected, maybe it is too earily.

Ask your boss for a promotion or a change of jobs

Quit.  Yiu will find another job, but you need to understand that looking for the right job for you is a full time job in its self.  follow your passion and you will find that your next job may not be a job at all, but perhaps a lifetime fullment.
