Restarting at 38?!
38, with a bachelor's in design. Ive worked in design, advertising, marketing in various roles ( designer, art director, creative director ) over the last 16 years. Ive picked up a lot of skills over the years and good at my craft with a good portfolio but if im behing honest with myself its always been an unstable career, highly competitive and has been cheapened for a lot of reasons. Anyways I didnt come here to gripe about why my field of work stinks, im in a great position for a career change I have no debt, no obligations but im unsure what to get into and how with all these years of experience and luttle to no interest in anything adjacent to design. Prior to university I was a mechanic and always a hands on guy and like to tinker in general. Ive been thinking of getting into electrical as I have some knowledge and experience but its really overwhelming to "start over" espically in a trade. Curious what some of you might have gone through with a career change later in life. My current priorities are stability, resilience to automation and NO OFFICE!
