At a time when “Carpe diem” and “YOLO” (You only live once) are more popular than ever, people have never been more numerous to leave a judged daily plan-plan to go on an adventure or make childhood dreams come true. Taking risks isn't as scary as it used to be, and the first area people looking to change their lives question is of course work. And women would be particularly affected. A study conducted by The Association of Accounting Technicians (abbreviated as AAT) suggests that female employees think about quitting an average of 17 times a year. However, this remains in perspective as the average worker has not changed jobs for at least 5 years.
34% of women surveyed by the OnePoll polling institute plan to reorient themselves and find a new job, when 22% want to radically change sector. For Rachel Kellett, head of development at the AAT, these findings are not surprising. “The impact of a profession extends far beyond the workplace […] It is therefore essential to ensure that you have chosen the right career. Despite what many people think, it's getting easier and easier to make big changes in your life. At AAT, we have people aged 70 and over who have taken up studying finance “, she explains. She adds that changing careers or starting a new one if you are not happy in your current situation would allow you to regain unfailing productivity and a positive spirit. If you want to know if you are ready to change your job or even your life, it's here and here that it happens!
