Is your career on autopilot? We see it all the time. Something happens, maybe it's a change in your personal life, maybe it's a company restructuring or a layoff, but you suddenly realize your career has unfolded around you. You've never stopped to think, "Is this really the direction I want to be headed? Is this the type of work I want to be doing? Does this work fit the life that I want to be living?" Then what? How do you justify a career change at 40? Can you take control of your career when you're already 10, 20, or 30 years in?
