Your satisfaction level at work is very important especially during your senior years. It should be something that you enjoy doing and dealing every single day. A work that stresses a senior is most likely to have implications to his or her health. However, due to financial reasons—and maybe a little bit of hormonal imbalances on the side—seniors are having a hard time knowing if they are really dissatisfied with their work or they just need a break. Here are some signs a senior should consider before switching careers:
·    Your pay and benefits. The longer you work for a company or business, the greater are your benefits. Is it worth risking it? Also, take some time to compare the amount you are getting paid in terms of the position you are holding, examine it and ask yourself, is it possible to get the same amount, if not greater, if you go looking for another job or career?
·    Your fellow office mates or coworkers. A new career will allow you to begin your slate, sparkling clean. However, it also brings uncertainty for a senior can never really be sure if a team will be kind enough to welcome him with open arms. If the camaraderie you’ve developed with current workers is priceless, then think twice before leaving your job.
·    Your work’s physical location. Your work’s location should be convenient enough for you, to and fro. By now, you must have memorized your way to work and can even get there blindfolded! Are you comfortable with altering your way to work after you get the new job? Take into consideration your travel time as well.
·    Work environment. If you are comfortable working with your uniforms on then you move to a work which will require you to wear suits, would that be okay with you? The same goes for corporate climate or laid-back kind of team..
·    The ground you’re standing on. Keep in mind that economy today is still unstable. If you already made a name for yourself in your current job and are considered as indispensable in the company, why risk it by starting all over again in a new career?
·    Your boss. A good, understanding boss is hard to find and the friendship and bond you most likely have been able to establish all those years can never be replaced by anyone. Unless you are starting a business wherein you’ll be the boss, you can never really tell if your next boss will be as kind as your current one.
·    Room for growth. This one is very essential in a senior’s life. A senior needs growth in his or her life too, especially as a person. If your current job allows this, why make the switch?
