When your work life is no longer fulfilling and you’ve lost that sense of purpose, it takes tons of energy just to do your job every day. You wake up with a pit in your stomach, dreading the day of work ahead of you. If you are one of the many people out there whose work no longer feel purposeful (or maybe it never did), do not despair. The answer may not always be to follow your passion and make a major job or career change.

If you are considering going to school and investing time and money in a new career, it can be helpful to know the projected job openings in that occupation to decide if the investment will be worth it.
