at changing careers at 1/2 century.
I decided to retire at 50 & never looked back!

Anyone start all over at 50 or close to it? I am 48, changing direction. I recently received my insurance license and no I am being sponsored for the series 6 which will allow me to sell securities. I will have to obtain two additional licenses after the series 6. I have been studying about 5-6 hours a night.
I am literally starting all over.
yep.....................I did, best thing I ever did...................................raven

Congratulations and great good luck, @NativeJax! Would it be possible for you to get a part-time job to supplement your income, or would that interfere with your ability to get this new career going?

YES!!!!! I am nearly 54 yo and started a job nearly one month ago after being a SAHM for nearly 18 years. I am working in the financial industry and LOVE it! I am learning so much. Since joining this company, i have met several people who have moved into this industry after working in other fields. They changed jobs because they wanted a career that was fulfilling. It is never too late. NEVER! Go for it. It's your life. Live it!!

I am a little scared because I know it takes time to build up clients and its a lot of hard work. I don't mind the hard work but the change in income for now is scary. I know the potential income is there but not right out of the gate.
Thanks for the cheering:-)

@NativeJax Congrats and good luck to you! I started a completely different career when I was 39 (I'm now 55.) I was a professor and now I'm a corporate executive. I think it makes life more interesting to have multiple careers in your lifetime.
