Time for a career change? Here are ten mistakes to avoid on the Quintessential Careers site:
* Making a career change without a plan.
* Changing careers because you hate your job.
* Making a career change solely based on money/benefits.
* Changing careers because of outside pressure.
* Making a career change without refreshing your network and finding a new mentor.
* Changing careers without examining all the possibilities.
* Making a career change without assessment of likes/dislikes and without self-reflection.
* Changing careers based on the success of others.
* Making a career change without necessary experience/education.
* Changing careers without updating job-search skills/techniques.
Some great advice!

There is NO perfect time or circumstances for a career change.
This list won't even let you get a job out of college if you took it literally.

Ooof Now you tell me! *grin*
Actually I think these are good points. Some of them I actually did most I did not. Although I do think if you hate your job.. might want to look into something different. :)
