At 48 is it possible to change career and become an Asp.Net Developer?

We Answered:

Nothing stopping you from a career change as long as you have realistic expectations. For example, if your sales career was paying you $100K, don't expect to start in a new field at the same rate. Look at what others in the field are getting for starting salary and base any job prospects on that.

As for learning ASP.Net, this really depends on the individual. Certainly it is easier if you know another development language to start, but it isn't required. You'll want to understand web development in general too since any interactive pages could require Javascript, VBScript, back end databases, integration into various applications, etc... I know it may sound a bit challenging, but it really just takes an interest and opportunity. Can't really say how long it would take since each person learns at a different rate. Your past skills also factor in so you may take longer to get up to speed. What you may want to do is try to combine your skills and look at sales related web development too.

Would it be possible to change career path to something along the lines of a Nutritionist with?

We Answered:

You don't need any qualifications to call yourself a nutritionist, it's not a "protected" profession like Dietician or Physiotherapist where you have to be accredited. You just need to be able to sound convincing when you're talking to clients. Throw a few scientific sounding terms in, that kind of thing.

Maybe do a correspondence course and pay some "college" in the USA to give you a doctorate.

On the other hand, if you really want to take it seriously you would probably need to focus your degree studies on the correct areas.

New Army recruit - lose sign on bonus if change career?

We Answered:

Not only will he lose the bonus, they probably won't let him change MOS's one week out. If they change it now, it is too late probably to put some one in his training seat. That means in a class that may be supposed to have 30 it would have 29, wasting some money. Being in armor will be a blast for him. He will have an adventure and get to to do "army stuff". He already has a degree in geography, adding any Army experience to that resume will help him in the future. Besides, they've been eliminating a lot of military cartography positions. It's a dead end job, the world is mapped.

Loving what you do = job security.

Highly doubtful you'll want to quit a job you love. :)

How can you change the amount of child support you pay due to change of career?

We Answered:

He needs to go talk to the Child Support office. I know that in Texas, they review the case files every few years. My ex-husband and I were both subpoenaed to court because they'd reviewed the files and wanted to change the amounts. We were both happy the way things were, so it was noted and we moved on. But depending on his situation he needs to be prepared for possible court costs, especially if his ex wants to dispute the changes.
