Greetings Lisa,

Do you think that my answer to this question MUST have results?

I'm a career switcher, and I'm considering explaining my thought process behind this decision in the essay.

I thought of explaining this in the "career vision" essay, but I don't think there is enough space. I have a very clear and detailed career vision, and I don't feel good about sacrificing some space to explain the career switch. I wanna focus on the future.

Do you think it is ok for me to go ahead and explain the career switch in the "difficult decision" question? Or should I sacrifice some space in the "career vision" essay to explain the career switch?

Your help is very much appreciated :!:
