Change Careers? Or Change You?

Submitted by Greg on May 21, 2007 - 11:29am.

Penelope Trunk, author of Brazen Careerist, offers up "Five Situations When You Shouldn't Change Careers." See if you can match up the situation with an excerpt of her advice, then visit her site to see if you're right:

Problem:	Solutions:
1. You hate your boss	a. meditate
2. You want more prestige	b. change jobs, not careers
3. You want to meet new people	c. you won't find it at work
4. You want more meaning in life	d. whose problem is it, really?
5. You want more happiness	e. get a therapist

Trunk is career columnist for Yahoo Finance and the Boston Globe. She was recently interviewed by one of our favorite bloggers, Guy Kawasaki, here.
