The Rookie's Guide To Quitting

What do Morgan Freeman, Tina Fey, Ralph Lauren, and Ranveer Singh have in common? Freeman was a mechanic in his 20s. Fey was a childcare registrar.

Lauren sold ties. Singh was a copywriter. They all struggled to find their niche as 20-somethings.

Things haven't changed much for those who've just started out. There's still a lot to choose from and a lot to be overwhelmed by. "It's OK to have multiple career transitions in a lifetime," says psychotherapist Ruchita Chandrashekar, 32, who worked as a copywriter until she was 23. She and two other career switchers offer help on taking a pause and branching out early marketing and content creation. "It's a no brainer. If you're going to work every day, but dreading the work and questioning whether you're even learning anything, it's time for a career switch."
