Test a New Career

A career change, even by choice, is traumatic, says Richard Fein author of The Baby Boomer's Guide to the New Workplace, so it is important to do your homework before pursuing a new profession.

Fein, director of the Isenberg School of Management Career Services Center at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, advises baby boomers to test a new career by:

* Job shadowing someone in the profession

* Joining the occupation's professional association, if possible

* Taking a part-time or volunteer job related to the profession

* Interviewing members of the profession and asking the most important question:  "if you had to do it all over again, would choose this job?"
