New Year, New Career!

Written by Cori Fricke | Jan 6, 2022 1:45:00 PM

It's 2022, are you ready for a new you? 

 

Each new year is a time to refresh and set intentions.  This is usually thought of as a new diet or fitness plan, but there are alternative ways to improve your life.  Let's face it, there's a reason you clicked on this post. 

 

If you find that your unhappiness stems from your current job, a new career could be on your horizon! Your first step in this process is to figure out what you like and dislike about your position.  If you work a 9-5 desk job and you're itching to move your legs, consider a more physically active career such as wind turbine or tower technician. If you're always on the road and want to be at home with your family, a job as a medical assistant or massage therapist can require little to no travel. 

 

Once you figure out what type of career path you want to take, the next step is to get certified in your field.  Finding a school or training program can be daunting, but it's important to focus on which aspects are the most important to you.  For some, it's about money, time and a fresh start.  For others, it's about passion and a brighter future.  

 

When researching schools, you should ask yourself three simple questions:

  1. Am I ready to make this commitment?
  2. What is my budget?
  3. Will this training get me from point A to point B successfully?

For many, a four-year education may not be the answer. Career and technical schools can be more fitting because they offer flexible schedules, hands-on training and certification within a year. Plus, potential employers will appreciate your proactive approach to joining their field. 

 

Whether you're looking for tower climber jobs or a medical assistant online class, Pinnacle Career Institute is here for you.
