Trapped, Part II

I wrote a lot about being trapped while missing some main points. Quickly, I also meant you get trapped in a career! You can't switch easily as your resume will be filled with jobs that have nothing to do with the one you want to enter. With bills to pay, you can't afford to take time off to get a new degree or certificate unless you want to break open your retirement 'savings'. Without those things holding you down, you could do it but those things trap you in your career unless you are very lucky, either wealthy enough to enter and leave the workforce and education at will or lucky enough to get a sideways-transfer at your current employer.
