Key Findings:

When asked why professionals may change their careers entirely, “to find their real passion” ranked first (37%) followed by opportunities to learn and challenge themselves (33%).
More than half (51%) of respondents deem it necessary to work in the same field as their educational background.
The biggest challenge associated with changing careers is transferring skills and relevant experience (41%).
A majority of respondents (51%) believe that it is always important to obtain additional education/ training before changing careers.
