If you are in this age group, you might be thinking
'It's about time I knew what I am supposed to be doing for the rest of my
life!'.
Or, you might have recently started out on your
career after leaving university. Perhaps you are having second thoughts about
your career choice. Or, perhaps you are in a hurry to start climbing the
corporate ladder and achieve financial independence.
You might be in a long-term relationship,
considering marriage, a home and children, which is clashing with the demands
of your current career.
The good news is that this is the best time in your
life to make meaningful career plans. Why is this so? Because the period of
time between 25 and 35 is now the adult threshold (according to social
demographer Bernard Salt, adolescence now lasts till around 30 years of age).
You arein the prime of life in terms of being able to make sound decisions that
will see you through the years ahead.
The cynics will tell you that there is only one way
to progress your career at this point: work in a boring job until you get
promoted to a hopefully less boring job, and if it is still boring at least you
get paid more. I know,from the 35-45 year old clients I see,that taking
that path only leads to greater disappointment.
