One of the reasons people get stuck when thinking about a career plan, changing careers, or choosing a career is they know what they do not want, but they have not identified what they do want. The process of creating your criteria is focused on what you do want.
Without a clear set of criteria, lots of careers can look attractive, but you have no way of evaluating if a career is right for you and no basis for making a choice between two or more possibilities. Your criteria will become your guiding force in exploring changing careers or choosing a career, deciding what path to follow now and in the future, knowing when it is time to leave a position, and plotting your career plan.
