But what can you do to diversify your own career? And is it the right thing for you? In this webinar recording, George Chilton, SLB member and Creative Director at Hubbub Labs, talks about making the career shift from teaching to writing.

He goes into how to grow your experience, test the waters and blaze a trail that both excites and challenges you.

He explores:

  • What to do right now
