<p>The largest portion of our country’s population, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomers" target="_blank">Baby Boomers</a>, are struggling with losing their jobs of many years, looking for new jobs and wondering if they will ever be able to “retire” as the country goes through the worst economic times since the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_depression" target="_blank">Great Depression</a>. Thousands of these displaced Boomers are finding that perhaps they don’t just want to return to a job similar to what they had, but one that will actually make them happy during the remaining work years.</p>
<p>During the previous decades of their lives, many Boomers worked at careers that they more or less “fell into” and provided for the family security but didn’t make them happy. They often, in fact, hated their jobs but as the pay was good and they already had many years invested, they did their best to find happiness anywhere other than their job.</p>
<p>The current situation of the economy has either provided everyone with a general feeling of panic or, on the other had, one of great excitement and opportunity! The time is right to do some heart-felt soul searching.</p>
<p>There is a great resource to help with this soul searching that also provides advice on career planning and that is personal coaching.</p>
<p>Here is an excellent book that has some great ways to help you begin your self re-evaluation.
