We hear about all the young people making a big deal of their successes in their early years. Twenty-something tech gurus or entrepreneurs that make their fortune early.
Who here is past 45-50 and maybe made a switch or restarted and found success and a modicum of happiness in their new position?
I’m not 40 to 55 but I find that typically career changes later in life (I’m assuming that’s what you are referring to) typically revolve around a topic that the person is already familiar with. If you are worried about your career choice you can always take a few introductory classes on other skills now to keep “in your back pocket” for later.
I heard of people that took a welding class in highschool or similar, getting laid off and nearly evicted in their 40s/50s. However that little bit of experience early on meant it was easy to pickup the trade later. Especially if the trade is in demand and companies are willing to train newbies.
