Do you think 45 is too old to change careers?

We Answered:

No not really .. people need to do what they feel they need to . With the way the Government is and what there doing .. We will have to work till were 90 or dead anyways. So i see you as only half way into a career time . so go do what you have to be happy ans successful in your life .

Phyllis Said:

I want to change careers, but I'm not sure what I want to do. How can I figure this out?

We Answered:

Okay, first of all, you need to consider money...teaching and social work don't make a great deal of money...you can make a great deal of money if you first of all get your RN and then specialize...some schools might even let you do a double major of like RN and Surgical Nursing...and you're out in 4 years...then get your master's in nursing...that's my plan...and nursing is a challenge, but not very time consuming....I would choose nursing...o, I forgot...my aunt works for the government as a probation/parole officer and she hates it.

Have you ever completely change careers midstream? How did that work out for you?

We Answered:

Yes I sure have--I worked for many years as an office administrator for a large marketing firm and now I am a cook in remote camps for oil rigs and love it as I get to travel to beautiful areas in the Rocky Mountains that the public do not get to see. I am no longer stuck behind a desk and get to get out with nature and meet some fabulous people.

How does a 49 year old web designer change careers?

We Answered:

Look at any hobbies that you have are they something you could make money doing? like carpentry, plumbing, painting (houses or pictures) look for something you enjoy doing that could be considered a second career and build up a clientele to the point you don't have to go back to your first job.
