Tech can be a major rabbit hole. It's so huge right now that you can waste a whole life trying to pivot into minor nuances. And then there is also work life balance. You get in this weird rabbit hole where you need to jump through so many loops and convince people who might or might not even understand what "doing the job properly" even means. If you choose switching into tech, don't bloat it up. Don't get yourself worked up about it. Live life.

I’ve been a bartender, a mailman, worked in customer service, a nurse, worked a government job, and now I’m a realtor. I’m not in love with any of it. 😂 

Finding a long term passion ‘job’ is rough. I honestly believe if all else fails I’ll fall back on nursing (which I got burned out in). Healthcare/ service/ sales will always be needed.

Enjoying the content Rich. I changed careers aged 46. Previously worked as an architect, but it had become too regulatory for me. Looked at what I enjoyed and what range of skills I had, and decided to become a freelance designer / maker. I let all my old clients go, and spend 3 months building a portfolio of samples and sent out 130+ marketing packages to all sorts of companies. 6 years later, I'm finding the work so much more enjoyable and making more money. I build custom signage, stuff for theatres, TV, shop window displays, escape rooms... anything for anyone! I'm not saying it's been easy, but don't waste your life stuck in a job that sucks, you'll look back at an unfulfilled life riddled through with the pain of regret.

I spent all of my twenties figuring out all of the things I don't want to do. Now, in my early thirties I fell into a role as a field service technician in an industrial setting and I absolutely am having a blast

I like content that crushes belief systems and ideologies and your is doing a great job in that.

Nice to find someone who knows the difference between the value of the stamp, the value of the actual education in that program and the value of the personal development during the program. You earned a subscriber.

@CanadianWinters

Very good advice. I changed career at almost 40. I was always good with computers (not programming but actually using software, 3d modelling etc..). I went into civil engineering where I can apply my skills using CAD software for design. In my area these technical figures are somewhat in demand for construction and enginnering companies. I went back to school for 2 years to get a diploma and found work in the summer after the 1st year of school and stayed on with the company after graduation. Starting over is not easy but I love my new job and I am much less stressed.

@islnds

I feel like watching your videos is positively impacting me; I keep coming back to them - it's really great stuff.

@xsliquidity

Great topic and great advice.  Start walking in a generally correct direction... and you will stumble into the right thing.

Finding the right life partner & finding the right career... two difficult tasks... making life decisions.  But life works out, as long as, you keep moving and keep trying.

@lilbroomstick7914

My degrees are in healthcare, but I’m getting industry leading certifications in Computer networking, cloud, and cybersecurity. I’m trying to delve deep into Healthcare IT. I think it’s possible cuz I’m still in my 20s and I’m still excited about learning

@KLM747M

@markie9739

Thank you for the encouragement l didn’t know l needed. I’m in my forties, in the middle of a career change which I didn’t know was going to be so quite difficult.

@erikstonesifer7326

Set your course. Have contingency plans and patience. Put your head down and do the work one objective at a time. Good insight Rich.

I was a kindergarden teacher for 5 years and now I am a SAP PMO in an IT company.

@cateclism316

I was an underskilled software tester for fifteen years.  Finally left the field in 2017.  Trying to pivot into medical coding now.  Fewer things to learn, more attuned to my knowledge base.
