Nigel:
00:00:00
but it gets to a stage where you go, this isn't a joke.
Nigel:
00:00:02
We're all heading to a hole in the ground And when you are just on the
Nigel:
00:00:07
edge of the grave, about to be pushed in and are you're going to say I'm
Nigel:
00:00:09
really glad I made that extra sale.
Nigel:
00:00:11
Or I got on the board or I was made a partner at the law firm
Steve:
00:00:18
so you're looking to leave your nine to five job, right?
Steve:
00:00:21
You wanna do something different, But you're probably a bit lost.
Steve:
00:00:26
You've changed jobs likely multiple times, but what you really need
Steve:
00:00:32
is a complete career change.
Steve:
00:00:35
You might be thinking, where do I even start?
Kathy:
00:00:41
From where you sit, this is the worst crisis you've ever faced.
Kathy:
00:00:45
But from where I sit, it's the first moment you can choose who
Kathy:
00:00:49
you want to be in the world.
Kathy:
00:00:51
Now, who do you want to be?
Steve:
00:00:57
Welcome to the new season of escape.
Steve:
00:00:59
The nine to five I'm hosting creator, Steve oily.
Steve:
00:01:03
I followed the traditional career path.
Steve:
00:01:06
Getting good grades at high school, going to college, graduating with a very
Steve:
00:01:11
respectable degree and landing a dream job on paper, but finding myself unhappy.
Steve:
00:01:19
And I noticed so many people in their late twenties and early
Steve:
00:01:22
thirties in a similar situation.
Steve:
00:01:26
I got curious.
Steve:
00:01:28
How can we escape the nine to five and find a meaningful
Steve:
00:01:31
work that still pays the rent
Steve:
00:01:35
in season one of escape, the nine to five, I spoke to some people
Steve:
00:01:38
who'd made the leap, including uncovering some of the myths.
Steve:
00:01:42
We tell ourselves that hold us back,
Clare Mann:
00:01:45
what has influenced me to choose the career path to do what are
Clare Mann:
00:01:49
the messages I tell myself or other people tell me when I look to change?
Clare Mann:
00:01:53
Or gosh, I'm 30, I've got a mortgage.
Clare Mann:
00:01:55
I ought to be settled down and well, I've been doing accountancy for a
Clare Mann:
00:01:58
while, even though you may not like it well, do you really want to be
Clare Mann:
00:02:02
doing that for another 30 years?
Clare Mann:
00:02:03
So ask yourself first, the question is, what comes up when
Clare Mann:
00:02:06
I dare to think about changing
