CHOOSE YOUR PATH

This web site is meant to be fun! We offer an advertising–free zone and gorgeous photos of what? Ducks! Are you serious? Yes, we are. We think you will enjoy the ducks and what they can teach us.

Choosing a new career path may be quite a challenge, but it also presents a great opportunity for progress. Here we connect you to some good web sites to get you underway. Take a look at our Duck Facts section as we look to one of nature's most mundane creatures, the humble duck, for inspiration.

Then head over to Wise Words in the side bar and learn from some wise people. There's lots more, so let's get underway. I hope you will see how each individual is able to set his or her own course and deserves to thrive.

DUCK FACTS

The word duck comes from Old English dūce “diver”, a derivative of the verb dūcan “to duck, bend down low as if to get under something, or dive.” Wikipedia

WISE WORDS

Steve Jobs

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.

As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.

So keep looking until you find it.

FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE

Juliet Swannell

• I have known a father of two, with a degree in aeronautical engineering and several years experience in that industry, successfully start all over again to study and practice medicine.
• My Dad transitioned from owning a printing business, to selling commercial real estate, and then growing macadamia trees!

NEXT STEPS

• With rapidly changing technology and fluid family circumstances, people change roles and careers ever more frequently.
• Just like the duck searching for food beneath the surface of the water, so those seeking to move forward can dive in to explore new possibilities.
