Choose your next job, change careers, or resign on good terms.
Before you change direction, check what the job pays, what training it requires, and whether employment in it is expected to grow. Then compare those answers with what you bring: your skills, your credentials, and the time you can give to training.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes wages and long-term employment projections for hundreds of occupations, with the education each one typically requires. Those figures show which jobs pay well with and without a degree, and which occupations are expected to add jobs.
Changing careers does not have to mean starting over. List the skills your current work already uses, and find the roles that ask for them. Then close the gaps with the shortest credible training, such as a certificate or an apprenticeship.
When you resign, give the notice your employer or contract expects. Keep the resignation letter short and factual: your last day, a thank-you, and an offer to help with the handover. Leave on terms that keep a reference open.
Change careers in 5 steps: learn the work from federal job data, compare requirements, test the move, plan money and timing, and rewrite your resume.
A resignation letter says you are resigning, your job title, and your last day. Here are 3 templates to copy, and what to check about notice and final pay.
