This recession has sent unemployment to new heights and that means more people are out of work. For some, that means doing whatever it takes to just find another job to help pay the bills. For others it means using this as an opportunity to change careers. If you're someone who has dreamed of changing careers but never had the ability to just quit your job and start fresh and now find yourself unemployed this presents a unique opportunity. Since you're already out of work you can now pursue that new career. But, there's a catch. If it's in a different field than what you worked in before it isn't as easy as drawing up a resume and applying for jobs. It takes careful planning and may actually require a little more work than you anticipate. A career change isn't for everyone, so there are some important questions to ask yourself before taking the plunge. Here are some questions you should ask yourself before deciding whether or not to change careers.Are You Prepared for a Career Change? originally appeared on About.com Financial Planning on Sunday, September 12th, 2010 at 19:43:08.Permalink | Comment | Email this

I know, I know. You're going to be reading a lot about resolutions this week. I'm going to write about it anyway, because despite the somewhat cliched-ness of the topic, resolutions are actually pretty cool, and can be especially handy for your music career. Why? Because making resolutions forces you to do something uber-important to your music career (or any career, actually) - to make a resolution, you have to sit down, decide what you want and plan how to get it. That skill is invaluable in the music biz, especially if you're going it alone in the industry, without a team of people telling you what you next step will be. As we talk about a lot around these parts, it's never enough to, say, have a great show. You have to know even before your stellar performance how you will use a great show to find and retain new fans, drum up press interest, get another show, and so on. Your resolutions are a road map for getting that kind of stuff done throughout the year, so come December 2011, when we have this conversation again, you'll be sitting pretty. So, to that end, check out a few suggested resolutions, and then share your own goals for the new year. No idea is too big or too small. No matter if your goal is to record your first song or release your tenth album, let us hear about it.
