Could I switch career when I am 43?
<grin> I switched wives at age 42. That was my biggest life-change ever. That old saying "Life begins at 40" is so very true.
Here's the thing: "YOU CAN SWITCH CAREERS NO MATTER WHAT AGE YOU ARE."
Most of us have opportunities to switch careers many times during our lives. Some of us take one or more of those opportunities as they arise, and some of us don't. It's your choice.
Some of us are forced into different careers, because of external factors. That can be at any age. I was forced to take over the family property-rental business when I was 62. Yes I'm still 'working' a decade or so later, if you call working one to two hours a month 'working'. Money ceases to be a factor in your life when you have more money available than you can reasonably expect to spend in the years you have left.
In my forties, I passed up an opportunity to become a computer programmer in the medical field when my first wife declined to move to a larger city.
Five or so years later, I qualified as a commercial pilot, but the aviation downturn in the early nineties meant I earned more in my normal career as pharmacist at that time, then later on I was no longer able to pass the Aviation Medical.
