NBC News asked people to share their stories if they have switched careers during the pandemic or are planning on quitting their jobs. Here's what they said.It took a pandemic for me to see that my son needed me. I was on a fast train going nowhere, working long hours at work, worrying about not missing my hair appointments, making sure the house was decorated for the holidays, making it to school meetings and events on time, vacations, meals, doctor appointments ... the list goes on.
