> If you're 43, you should know what you want to do. LOL no. I'm 43. And I change my plan more now as I get older. Probably as I am less scared to change and no longer live paycheck-to-paycheck. The kids act like a small anchor to prevent me from going backpacking for a year but otherwise feel free to change my mind all the time. Granted I have some friends/ex-colleagues at my age who knew what they would be doing until they retire. But they knew that when they joined some medium-to-big corp at 25-30 and never left. But I also have more and more people my age (35-45) who change radically what they do as perhaps it is a midlife crisis or just realised they can afford to change now or need to before it is too late. I am not sure it ever is too late. True, 25-years-old-me thought 35+ me would be a settled dad in a big corp and go fishing each weekend. And it turned out 36-years-old-me old left big corp to oscillate between startups and contracting and hacking each weekend instead.
