anyone thinking of changing job of other profession?

Good luck with your business dreams! I don't think it's a mid life crisis. I think change is healthy, especially if it's a way to become self employed. I've been working as a receptionist in a doctor's office for the last five years and had been considering getting my medical transcription certificate because it would all go hand in hand in the work place. Lately though, I've had a change of heart due to the kind of treatment and unprofessionalism that I've seen in the medical field. I no longer want to do medical transcription or work in the office. Like you, I would really love to be self employed. I feel that is the only way I will be happy.
