Now that’s a different kettle of fish entirely.  If you’re stuck with a bad boss, bad co-workers, bad reviews and a bad salary then perhaps you do have a valid need to pack up and head on out of there.  [...] [...] Let's say for argument's sake that you aren't happy so much with your industry and your job as you are with your place of work.

That way your visitors have the option of going to the new site/article or staying on the same page. This will ensure more time on your site, as else even if they(your readers) wanted to, they might navigate and browse the other sites and forget how they got there in the first place. If already knew this, then I apologize for wasting your time. Arun As a career-changing non-traditional student, your article(s) definitely is very helpful.
