I'm not sure if it's so different where you are from, but that happens here all the time. I regurlarly meet Uber drivers in their 40s who did something completely different in their home country and are getting their real estate license (for instance) by driving Uber in the meanwhile. Many more examples like that but it seems to not be that strange. I myself am not very 'normal' but I try many different things, always. So far they make enough to allow to try out something new the next time. I don't see myself stop until I die, but who knows.
- forapurpose 9y agoI'm not talking about Uber-like jobs, but entry-level jobs toward new careers. For example, someone getting an entry level job as a developer or actor at age 35, with the plan to progress in those professions.
- tluyben2 9y agoThe real estate part is that; going from cook to real estate in another country and doing that by driving Uber in the meantime while learning and practicing how real estate works and getting licences. It is not as clear cut as programming in that way but entry level jobs are not too easy to get over here when you are older as the minimum wage goes up fast. Freelancer wise I do see it happen.
