BE PATIENT, BUT KEEP HUSTLING
Just as you probably didn’t build your current or past professional career in a couple of months, don’t expect your reinvention to be lightning fast. As you transition to your new career path, be sure to make contacts, take courses, brush up on needed skills, do internships—paid or unpaid—and find a mentor … Be prepared to take a pay cut if you are starting over in a new field, but also be ready to fully enjoy what you do.
