As my career shifts, I find that the key to keeping the shift moving in a productive way is to ask good questions. It’s ironic, because one of the most frequent questions I get from people is “what’s the best way to make a careerchange?” Anyway, I wouldn’t say redecorating is a careerchange, but maybe just a vocation vacation.
Also, I've written a lot about how careerchange goes better when you can create a story of your life that shows the upcoming change is the next logical step. This research comes from INSEAD.) " I couldn't agree more P!

So you generalizing that grad school is not the way to go is totally wrong.
