Personal Finance Essentials

Career Planning

Your biggest financial asset isn’t your home or investment portfolio.

It’s your ability to earn an income.

When you left high school, you embarked on a path – either deliberately or inadvertently. Are you still on that same path? Will you be able to continue on that path for the rest of your career? Will you even want to? 

This is the new field of career planning. Given the threat of job obsolescence due to robotics, AI and quantum computing, we have to ask ourselves if the job we’re in – or the organization we’re working for – will still exist in 10 years. Even if the answer is yes, we must ask if we might experience burnout.

All this raises an important question: will you be prepared to pivot to a different career without disrupting your lifestyle or risking your future financial security?  

Your biggest financial asset isn’t your home or investment portfolio. It’s your ability to earn an income. And that means we must think hard about your career path and how to sustain it – so you can maintain your lifestyle.
