I have been thinking a lot lately that the older I get it is harder to take a change of career paths. I mean when you are young it is so easy to fall and get back up dust your knees off and start all over again. I am not so sure it is the same feeling when you get my age. I am not a quitter by any means but I am human to have doubts.With that being said i only have one choice, up!
You are definitely not a quitter! Experience and maturity will help with the career change :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is never too late. When we have such doubts, I think we need to think about all the accomplished scientists and inventors who had a "late start". I was afraid of being a nontraditional medical student and told a close friend of mine that I was afraid of becoming an "old" doctor. She advised me that older people often are looked to for advice and wisdom while becoming a young doctor may come with unease from patients and others. I am okay with it now. We only have the rest of our lives to do what we want to do. Let's KEEP going up.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I'm about to make some major change soon. One where my parents will probably be disappointed in me LMAO.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that changing career paths necessarily means that you are "starting over". You still keep the knowledge and experiences that you have from your previous career(s).
ReplyDeleteI think about that a lot, when I get older will I be happy with the path I chose? Will I regret it? I know even now I regret not trying very hard in school.
