#2: “I should clear $60,000 this year.”

The third guy has been sitting there quietly, staring into his beer, when the others turn to him.

2. A visitor to a certain college paused to admire the new Hemingway Hall that had been built on campus. 
"It's a pleasure to see a building named for Ernest Hemingway," he said.

VIDEOS

Joseph Liu give some great points in his video on the 4 most common career change mistakes. One of his key points is “Don’t wait for the perfect job — find one that is better!” Spending all of your time and effort on “perfect” is not the way to go.

Another great point is don’t try to figure it out on your own. One great approach to take is to talk with someone who is experienced in the career field that you wish to enter. Ask questions to find gain more insight. What is it really like to work in that job? Why do some people fail? If you don’t know what you are getting into, you will want to change again.

Plan your way around these mistakes!

The video is 5:01 minutes long.
