Stepping out of comfort zone is difficult, especially if you have been related with certain industry for a long time and know every bit of it. But to improve knowledge and learning something new, it is good to venture out and push your personal boundaries.

Dear Sergio,

The problem when someone offers the job as a business analyst for you, their conditions you must have experience in a specific field. For example, X-company needs a business analyst that has experience in healthcare; if you did not work in the healthcare industry then you would never get this position, even if you are an excellent business analyst and have experience in general. Then if all companies need skills in the specific industry, and you didn't work in this field before, you will never get this job. Therefore, the employer enforces you to stay in one sector.

Sincerely,

Hawazin

Is not a problem for me. As business analyst I have the opportunity to help that people to understand what business analysis is. If you see my work history I perform my work on several quit different industries. In fact, I tried to switch between industries to learn. Obviously when I switched sometimes I have to give up something like money for example. Is as Darwin Theory expressed about an entity that specialized to live only in one environment and the risk of survival when the environment changes. Now, you are saying other thing than your original question. Here, I can not open judgment on attitude or behavior trying to survive. In my case, I always follow the Darwin principle.
