　　Well, career change. That is an interesting topic. As the old saying goes, look before you leap. You’d better be very careful when you make such big decisions. To begin with, further study and training has to be taken into account .the reason is quite obvious with improved and enhanced skills; your job will be safer. Furthermore, opportunities for further promotion also play important roles here. Promotion means more salary and therefore better living conditions. Therefore, we are strongly attempted to choose it, and for some people, this is even the ultimate goal of their job. But it is only half the story. You have to consider about the best development of your potential. In other words, you have to be very clear about your personal interest is and try to enjoy your work and find joy in it, I believe due to different value systems, people may make different choices upon the same thing. As long as I am concerned, I will choose a career that I can fulfill my dream. I mean, if it is not highly paid, I don’t care, I will choose a career I like over opportunity of promotion.
