I was 30 years old when I decided to transition into Freelancing work. it was my 3rd career changed. in my career changed ( and career transition), I’ve learned a lot. so if your a wanderer or straggler (I am major wanderer) – this is for you. if you're a sprinter. I’m jealous. good for you, but this definitely isn’t for you.

I give these recommendations knowing that I’m still trying to figure it all out myself. It’s all trial and error—in careers and life. To help you figure out whether you should change careers, here’s my best advice.

Career change at 30 is messy, non-linear, and not easy. This is a more accurate version of how it happens:

Realize you’ve emotionally left the situation you’re in.
Set your feet on a crooked path of self-discovery.
Experiment with ideas and possible new selves.
Craft and conduct even more experiments.
Keep earning money while you craft a new working identity.
This is the winding path that eventually leads the diligent and courageous to a new career.

Some will take months or years to figure it out. The process is NOT ...
... for the weak and easily worn individual. However, the journey can be exciting, invigorating, and insightful.

Sometimes it isn’t your job. It may be something you have to figure out for yourself personally. Finding what you want to do with a considerable amount of your time on this earth is important. That direction needs to be figured out before a sustainable career. And that journey, not ironically, will pull you in and out of careers.

Identify if your career is the Problem
What’s the right role for you? Is it
GVA, web designer, social media management..?

Can you start a new career at 30?

It would be nice if I could list a bunch of job titles here. But that’s not how it works.

There’s more to choosing a new career than picking something that sounds better than your current one.

At 30, you want to be sure you’re making the right choice. You can’t afford to invest blindly in another degree or another decade in the wrong career.

The perfect career for you will combine your passion, strengths, and purpose. Those things are hard to define, but you can start by brainstorming lots of ideas about:

What excites you?
What you might be good at?
What your values are?
You would ask yourself similar questions if you wanted to know how to be badass.

The steps in the next section will show you how to uncover these things and build a meaningful career, at any age.

We miss our greatest opportunity when all we do is work and experiment.

During your experiments, you are receiving all kinds of evidence. During downtime, your brain processes all of this stuff — it takes time for realizations to sink in.

Give yourself time to walk, nap, or go on vacation. During idle time, new insights can appear. Be willing to forget what you know, and think things through.

Embrace the Career at 30
After running both tracks for a while, you will arrive at the final step which MUST be taken:

Abandon your old way of work and embrace the new.

A year from now, if you want to be somewhere other than where you are, pick one
thing from this article and get moving.
