My guest today is trying to change careers now while he has a full-time job, a mortgage and two young kids. David Mock opens up about the challenges he's facing, his immediate concerns (will it work out?, will it be worth it?), and how he's getting through it all.
Currently, David feels stuck and he shares how he's working on becoming a certified junior cybersecurity analyst, a new career that would provide personal growth, financial freedom and more flexibility. It could also secure his future in a growing field.
Are you working on your career switch, too, like David? Here's hoping you can relate to any part of his story and that his experience and advice will motivate you to keep going.
Episode Highlights:

  • Feeling stuck
  • Looking for growth and financial freedom
