Hi there, has anyone made a complete career change in midlife? I'm 39 and contemplating a change from software engineer into ... something. I'm mainly looking at stuff I could transition into by getting a new master's degree.
Ideas so far include therapist (that 10 years as a patient has to help), librarian (sounds perfect expect for low pay), or physician assistant (pays well but looks tough to get into the schools).
In current job I'm burnt out on overwork, and my hands are injured from too much keyboard work.
Comments anyone?
And BTW, there's all kinds of good info on the U.S. Beaureau of Labor Statistics website. Warms my heart to see my tax dollars doing something useful.
