I switched paths in my late 40s, scared out of my mindābut Iāve never felt more alive. Hereās why itās not too late, and how I did it.
and then
I used to ask that exact question at 47 while staring at a blinking cursor on a rĆ©sumĆ© I hadnāt updated in a decade. Iād spent years climbing a ladder that I eventually realized was leaning against the wrong wall. It was terrifying to start overābut also strangely exciting. I didnāt have to prove myself to anyone anymore. I just had to honor what mattered to me. I took a course online, talked to younger guys in the field, and reminded myself: Iāve got experience, scars, and perspective. That stuff is gold. Starting over in your 40s? Itās actually a privilege, not a failure.
