How do you switch mid-career?

• hef19898 3y ago
  I talked about mid-studies, preferably early so. Mid-career is harder, but doable. It largly depends on your field of study and experience. The more you are working at the interface between disciplines / industries / technologies, the easier it to switch between those. That's a career choice so, you can try to be more generalistic, and make career switches easier, or become specialized. Both are valod choices. That is one reason why I think education should be as generic as possible, if you already specialize a lot durong your studies, being young and having zero job exoerience, carries the risk of making your career a bit harder.

    I realize you were discussing mid-studies, I just was trying to illustrate that one of the problems with the German system is lock-in.

      Depends, I think there is as much lock-in, whatever that means when it comes to education, then anywhere else.
