Test Your Knowledge: The Great Career Switching Trend Quiz

the choice

Did you know some of the top-performing professionals in the tech industry are, on average, people who switched over from different, successful careers in their 20s and 30s? It’s true. Those compelled to change careers don’t necessarily do it because they weren’t doing well. Instead, they change because the job no longer satisfies them due to low salaries or unhappiness with day-to-day tasks.

Recently, switching careers has become easier. More professional schools with better training are available, tuition prices are competitively priced, and even major Universities offer short-term training programs. And state-regulated schools like App Academy have stepped up to provide thousands with skills to make the switch. About 3,000 App Academy alums, for example, have received coding jobs.

But that’s just one of slice of the pie of career switching trends. In this quiz, we’ll test how much you know about career changing trends and people.
