A recent article in the Wall Street Journal broaches a subject most of you have probably considered at some point in the past, or are perhaps mulling over at the present moment: Contemplating a Career in Nonprofits?

It’s a fair question and the author jumps right to the crux of the issue in the first sentence implying that those seeking a change to the nonprofit sector are, “lured by the opportunity to serve a social purpose.” Indeed, that remains to me the most compelling and gratifying reason to consider making such a change. There are a host of other reasons that the author presents, in addition to some caution and advice.

If you are considering a transition from the corporate world, it is a quick read that is well worth a few minutes of your time.
