Anyone had a major career change in their 50s?

[Enchanted]

Not 50's but at 44 I'm currently over half way through my second degree.

I'll be 45 when I qualify next year as a Social Worker although I've worked in Children's Social Work roles for nearly 10yrs.

I've done my degree full time along side a 33hrs a week job, and have a 4yr old and a 1yr old both in nursery so had a baby in the middle of it too... plus of course a Pandemic! Go for it

But good luck to you - I say Go for it.

I’m 55 and the best career move I’ve ever made was retiring last year! It’s wonderful 😜

I'm not sure I'll ever retire, I think i'll always do something, even if it's just voluntary 1 or 2 days a week.

Otherwise i'd be at risk of being a creepy old woman hanging round Disney forums all day every day...

Why not retire and set up a toaster cleaning business 😉

I refer you to the “fuss over nothing” thread Pooh bear, I think it’s a vast untapped market. I could see you pitching it on dragons den.

One change at 20, another at 33 and another at 51. Take things as they come. “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”
