    Anyone ever made a drastic change in their life? Might be you've changed careers or moved house or something... Anything that is just completely different towhere you saw your life heading.

    I'm currently in the process of having a complete career change from wanting to go into journalism/writing to hairdressing. I am honestly so excited and I hope it will be easy enough to transition and train! Eeeeeeeeeh!

    I thought my parents might have been a bit disappointed that I would go into this field but they're surprisingly really supportive and proud of me for making a decision and being proactive about it. 2016 is going to be good

    So it's not so much changing careers, but giving up on your dreams. Keep writing, but make bucks'o'plenty with hair styling. Maybe you might write for a fashion magazine one day if you keep up your skills and passion!

    Well, when I was in highschool and just after graduation I really wanted to be a character designer. Tetsuya Nomura was a huge inspiration for me. Sadly I'm a horrible academic and my mom actually suggested that I try dog grooming out of the blue. I did, almost 10 years later I haven't looked back. I still draw for fun but I'm glad it wasn't a career choice. I have no idea where I'd be now, probably in a trout retail job...

    No I only do 360's, when I bust my moves on the dance floor. Sometimes even 720's.

    I do every few years when I move to a new place. Pursuing a career as an entertainer has been a drastic change in for me in both my creativity and social life and is something I never thought I'd do.

    You sound like you'd be fun at parties.

    I don't have enough ambition or courage to make that kind of change, though I've sometimes thought about it. For the most part though, I have a pretty awesome life that I wouldn't even want to change.

    I went from being a writer to the job I'm working @ now, which has nothing to do w/ writing. I honestly don't know where this career will take me, I just go one day @ a time.

    I cut soda and chips out of my diet completely and only drink water. The result is me being the healthiest I've ever been in my entire life.

    So, yeah.

    All of my drastic changes are completely internal with the exception of moving.
