If you stay safe in the current economic climate and do your job every day without thinking about how you could move up in your job, no one would be mad at you for it. Keeping the job you have now is probably your main goal, and you may think there will be plenty of time to think about career advancement in the future.
Nobody will be mad at you if you think this way if this is how you deal with things. When there is an economic crisis, people are taking risks and moving up in their jobs. There is no reason to think that because there is a crisis, you have to settle for less than you want or need. If you don’t try anything, you won’t get anything. Being cautious is not the same as being afraid of risk. It is possible to make life-changing decisions even when there is a lot of risks.
The risk-taking that most of us do is a very personal thing for a lot of us. Some of us will take risks with our emotions, but we won’t take risks with our money. Others will be willing to take financial risks, but not risk their lives. In most risk-taking situations, once the hazards have been identified and the right steps have been taken to minimize them, most people can often complete even the riskiest of tasks and enjoy the rewards of their hard work.
How would you describe yourself? Ask yourself if you are more cautious or more risk-averse when you think about different types of risks. This way, you can figure out how willing you are to try new things. Do we take our time before making a decision, or are we more likely to act quickly? Are we quick to spend money on a new gadget, but cautious about going on a date with someone we have never met before? Do we like to jump out of a plane with a parachute attached, but we would never invest money on a stock market account?
You should be careful if you’re thinking about changing jobs. Don’t be impulsive, but think about the benefits of taking the risk. In this case, you would not be alone. Many people already have. Some people have quit their jobs and started their own businesses at home. Others have gone back to school and learned new skills so they can apply for better jobs when they become available.
