Knowing what questions to ask, and knowing where to look for answers, will make the process less stressful and more successful.

A recent Gallup survey indicated that 72 percent of all working adults would seek more information on career options if they were starting over. People are in the process of adapting to changing technologies by retraining. Lifelong learning is a necessity. We may also change careers because our own professional interests and personal desires have changed.
