“I left the law firm behind to play with bricks full-time.”
That’s definitely not something you hear every day. But for Nathan Sawaya, that’s his reality. When he practiced corporate law for a living, he’d often spend his off-the-clock hours letting out his creative steam. He started making sculptures with LEGOs during his spare time, and the amount of attention he received from his website was a sure sign that he was onto something—something that not only made him happy, but also was valuable to others.
For most people, that sort of drastic career change is almost unfathomable. But if you’re worried you’re no longer interested in doing something you once were, that’s OK. “You don’t have to find one career path,” says Sawaya in the video below. “There are many ways to get to where you want to go, even if you don’t know where that is right now. You can always change what you are.”
