@erinmcgoff: Imagine you ordered a pizza & when you opened it up and took a bite of the first slice—you realized it was completely wrong. “But,” you think to yourself, “I already paid $20 and took a bite of the first slice… I might as well eat the whole pizza.” That’s sunk cost fallacy. It’s a cognitive distortion that makes no sense when it’s pizza, but seems to make a lot of sense when it has to do with our relationships, careers, and finances. The time passed. The money was spent. The energy was used. That’s the past, it doesn’t dictate your future. You got this!! 👏🏼 as always. #careeradvice #LifeAdvice #college #internship #sunkcost #sunkcostfallacy #psychology #economics
Unfortunately it’s less about wanting to and more about having the $ to do it 😥

but how do you change industries when you have no experience in any other fields? without starting over financially at the bottom

As a person who started in a new industry 3 times(each time successfully) – never again. This process suck your soul more than any boring job

So I’ve a biology bachelor degree. And I’ve been working in biotechnology for some time now and I despise it. Absolutely hate it and completely burned out. To the point I don’t want to go back to work

If only it was that easy I had to leave the career I’ve been in since I was a teen because of health and now getting jobs anywhere is so hard as I have no experience elsewhere

I stay in Marketing because I can’t afford to earn less money starting from the bottom doing something else. I feel utterly trapped

Is there a way to find out if you were maybe blacklisted from your current industry? I’ve been on literally 50+ interviews in 5 months and they promise to call but never do.

True, about using those skill learnt in one to another. I went from Insurance to Waste industry to disability to NFP HR compliance. I'm 47 too so it can be done.

Do it! And do it scared! I thought transitioning from advertising to wine was crazy & totally unrelated. Turns out creative storytelling and wine go hand in hand 🤝

A few years versus… 17/18? I’m 18 years in my career, is this still sunk cost fallacy?
