However, most successful career switchers take years to learn new skills, network, and be financially prepared.

The content analysis of scientific literature was used. The sources came from research databases such as google scholar, directory of open access journals, PubMed, and other websites. The findings suggest that demographic characteristics, personal, and organizational factors are determinants of a career change.
