There are a number of factors that can contribute to the decision to transfer skills to a new work function or industry: the current job market, salary, lack of job satisfaction, and/or lifestyle changes. The decision to transfer your skills and re-career is an important one; however there is a great deal you can do prior to making this decision through research, planning, and preparation.
