If work is keeping you up at night, you are not alone. Most career choices feel permanent and almost none are. You can change jobs, go back to school or start over at 40, and plenty of people do. What hurts is drifting: staying five years in a job you decided to leave in year one.
Three questions settle most career choices. Does it move you towards work you would choose with no one watching? Can you afford the worst case for six months? And what will a year of not deciding cost you? Pick the quiz that matches your choice.
Not on the list?
Use the decision coach: eight calm questions that work for any choice.
