Most working parents find themselves stressed out and short of time and struggle with childcare ( it’s SO expensive!). You can’t possibly afford to leave work, but you can change your job to get more out of your free time, feel less tired, and more motivated to achieve your goals. If you are in a dead end job, you might be stressed, worn out, and hopeless, and it might be time to change your career to improve your lifestyle. Find out more below.

You Can Work Flexible Hours In Some Positions

Some positions offer flexible working hours, or even occasional working from home. You can save time and money on traveling, and tailor your work to your lifestyle.

Instead of having to pay a babysitter to pick your kids up after school, you can finish work early, and start early. More flexibility can save you from stress and give you more freedom to spend time with your family.

More Challenge Is Good for Your Self Esteem

If you need to learn new skills or change your career, you will improve your confidence and self-esteem. Going from an office job to getting an online criminology degree is an achievement to be proud of.

Even if you have to put in a lot of effort of getting a new qualification, you can be rewarded by a more challenging and better-recognized career that makes you happier with your life, more organized, and calmer.

You Might Not Need to Work Weekends Anymore


If it is hard to arrange anything with your family as you might have to work on the weekend, you might want to consider a career change. Your work needs to fit your family and lifestyle, not the other way round.

If your current employer is not flexible enough and is too demanding, you have an option. Think about your skills that are transferable, and don’t be afraid of the change.

Improved Confidence and Mental Health

A healthy work-life balance has several mental health benefits. Having a few minutes extra in the morning to have breakfast with your kids and drop them off at school can help you get in a good mood all day. If you feel confident and satisfied with your career, you can think clearly about your finances and family-related decisions.  

Work Perks that Count

Some jobs are more family-friendly and come with more perks than others. Simply by having a family health care options, or discount on days out, even rewards and bonuses that you can use to book your vacation can make a huge difference. Some employers have discounts on childcare, and on-site nurseries to help out their workers with a young family.

Whether you are struggling with your work life balance, or feel trapped in a dead-end job, you have a way out. Don’t be afraid to change your career to improve your lifestyle and mental health. Invest in your education, and make sure that you are aware of your true value for employers.

    It is often necessary to change careers to attain a higher level of career satisfaction. A good example of this would be a middle manager applying for a higher-level position in an industry where their experience and knowledge could complement an upper-management position. Another reason to jump ship is because is if you’re concerned there’s a lack of opportunities for advancement where you currently are employed

      My husband has made these job changes before. Thankfully, he’s really happy in his current job and there’s most likely room for advancement.
