Well, I did it and it was an awesome experience.
I was working for a small sized software company where I was part of a QA team. As the program evolved I felt that my knowledge had lessen. Although the president of the company was offering to pay for specific computer-related courses I felt that my computer career had ended and that I should find a new career path to follow.
It was hard because at the time I had no idea of what new career to even chose from until someone mentioned that I should teach children. I heard that before 10 years ago when I was 16 yrs old and I wanted to become a Graphic Designer but for some reason the idea of teaching children didn't appeal to me.
But then again, I thought to myself, I do enough babysitting, so how about I open my own daycare? I haven't opened up my own daycare yet but after 8 months of working with children in preschools, I'm starting to think that would be a great way of becoming my own boss!
Take chances even if the road is bumpy. Bumpy roads forces you to focus until the end!
