Making changes in your professional career at midlife is entirely a different thing from making those changes in your twenties. Back then, it was easier to make decisions because you had fewer responsibilities. You will most likely have a lot more to consider if you want to make a career change as a mature worker. First of all you have to consider that you have financial responsibilities like paying for your mortgage and educating your family. You may also be at the peak of your career and be earning very well. For some, a career change at this stage of life could involve losing a lot, but for others it could mean gaining even more. Do you think a midlife career change at 40 or 50 can still succeed? Let me know your thoughts.
