So a little context, I've spent my late 20s & basically all of my 30s working a job I really don't like.

I never wanted to do insurance, I lied in a job interview because i was desperate for anything. I ended up being good at it, and it paid well, so I stuck around and got a couple of promotions.

Now I feel like I'm too old and financially too dependent on this shitty job to change careers

I have a wife, kids, and a mortgage, so I can't just quit and take time off to work out what I want to do.

I can't keep doing this for the next 25-30 years

If a min wage job at bunnings paid the bills, I would have done that years ago

Has anyone been through anything similar, a late career change, a restart at 40, and how did it work out?
