It’s common to change your mind about career paths multiple times throughout your life. As a child, you might have wanted to become a masked superhero, but then pursued something more realistic as you grew older. However, even as an adult, you don’t have to be limited to a certain career. Big Apple Training in the Bronx and White Plains, New York, helps people from all career backgrounds find fulfillment and success in the health care industry with training and certification as EKG technicians, home health aides, and other common medical professions.

Before you settle with your current career field, consider these three signs it’s time to pursue something different:

• You Dread Going To Work: Not everyone is going to jump for joy as they head into work each day, but when it gets to the point where you are anxious or upset at the idea of doing your job, something needs to change. You can find happiness and fulfillment in a new career, especially if you  work in a field where you can make an impact on the health and happiness of others. If you become an EKG technician, for example, you’ll be able to help people find treatment for heart disease, screen surgery candidates, and determine a person’s cardio wellness level during a routine checkup.
• There’s No Opportunity For Growth: Some career paths simply don’t offer any opportunity for advancement, either in skill or financial compensation. Fortunately, the medical field is not one of those. Don’t get stuck in a stagnant industry where you can’t grow.
• You’re Overworked & Underpaid: Do you “take the office home” every weekend without any compensation or gratitude to show for it? There’s a better way. Many professions, such as EKG technicians or phlebotomists, offer fair and competitive wages without working you to the bone.
