When I was young and trying to get into a university, there was a phrase I heard a lot, coming both from relatives and teachers:

"Choose your course wisely, because it will become your life's career"

Today, 15 years after my graduation day, I confidently say what a big lie that statement is.

I graduated as Civil Engineer, and for 10 years I thought that my career was locked in that field.

Those were great years and for a long time, I loved my work. I had good progress in my professional life reaching a good position as a Project Manager on a few big Construction projects.

But life is weird… You have a well-paid job, a great family, you are happy and life is good!

Suddenly, everything comes crashing down on your head and the world stops making sense.

It is never too late to learn. This phrase has become an archaism in the modern world. Nowadays it is impossible to graduate from college and work at one job until retirement, nowadays the world changes hourly and you need to be able to change with it, work on yourself. When changing professions, it is important to be able to write the right resume for the position you are interested in, this is half way. If you are not confident in your abilities, I recommend contacting professionals, such as pass interview . After all, it is necessary to seriously prepare for this important stage. Since you already have some experience, everything else was not so difficult.
