Switching careers in your 40s. Anyone else thinking of this or has done it?
Switching careers in your 40s
Hey all. Anyone here switch careers in their 40s at all? I am in the accounting field as an assistant controller. I've been doing accounting for about 12-13 years now, but after a string of bad bosses and companies these past few years, I absolutely loathe waking up and heading to work.
I have several ideas about what I would rather do instead, like open an arcade in the town I live in. Perfect spot downtown with lots of foot traffic. Open a donut shop somewhere in town. Only thing is Dunkins or drive 30 minutes to a decent place. Or ideally, I'd like to work towards being an athletic director or coach in some sense. Love sports and the chance to get to teach the game excites me.
Just curious if anyone else has taken a different journey in the 2nd half of life and how it all happened. Thanks!
