You have the time to do what you want!
It's a pretty common thing for people these days to change careers. However, I believe that, due to the limited amount of time we have to live, we can only change careers once or twice. Sure, a person could theoretically change as much as they want, but serious financial problems would arise.
What if you had the time to work at the careers you'd like the most? You could get the education you want, work at the job until you decide you want to switch and then do it all over again for the sake of doing something new. I'm sure we've all had at least three or four possible "dream jobs" we'd like to do. (I realize this subject borders on immortality, but it's really not about that.) What kinds of jobs would you like to work at? Jam it back in, in the dark.

I knew an engineer who gave up his high salary and house to attend college for 3 years taking pre med coursework..and then medical school..at 42 years of age. Which isn't that old when you think about it. His wife was supportive generally speaking but I suspect inwardly she was really grieving over the sale of the nice house.
![]() Just depends on what you're prepared to give up and what you enjoy doing.. Special Forces probably would be a no-no to guys 35 and up, even with an age waiver..as most of the wives would $hit a brick over the thought of sleeping alone and wondering if their hubbies were being shot at overseas. Not saying they couldn't cut it physically..it would just be hard giving up everything they worked for thus far (divorce rates are high for special ops guys in the Navy I was told) There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I'd devote all my time to Sports Medicine (maybe for a greater career in personal training), Sociology (just to know), and maybe do what it takes to make and maintain a massive, awesome fucking arcade with none of the stupid shit they tend to be filled with nowadays.
Windsong: I'm sure most wives aren't that devoted so that was a pretty good catch on that dude's part. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Right now, I'm working towards the career I want most, by going to graduate school, with the ultimate goal of a Ph D in Food Microbiology. I'm hoping it pays off by allowing me to be a professor or a lecturer, which would absolutely rock.
However, if I could do something totally different - I'd be training in martial arts from the age of 3, becoming a master, and then teaching martial arts as a supplementary job. I honestly wish I'd trained in a martial art since I was a kid, because I'd probably be bloody good at it by now if that were the case. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
