The Second Act: the risk and reward of changing careers

Changing careers can be tough. Is it worth the risk?

Shifting careers into something completely new, especially if you have been doing a job for a long time, can be a daunting prospect. But it can also be immensely rewarding. In this episode of Life & Faith we speak to three people who made radical changes in their careers and lived to tell the tale!

A hairdresser trains to be a nurse. A singer shifts to art teaching. A customs agent becomes a paramedic.

What did these changes involve? What was the motivation? Was it all worth the pain? And where do we find the deepest satisfaction in our work?
