Is it too late at 31

[Stuuuuuu]

I'm 34 and I'm starting a new career next Monday. Went back to Uni for a year to qualify. Needed a change.

I'm almost 73 and retrained last year to be a Steeplejack, nothing is impossible mate.

My Mum went back and did her A levels at 42 and then trained to become a teacher - this was whilst bringing up me and my two sisters. It was a life changing decision for her and taken after my dad died suddenly. I remember things were a bit tight for awhile but then when Mum started working we seemed to be fine.

Really proud of Mum for doing that.

Some of the best salesmen I knew moved from manual jobs in factories or the building trade into the seedy world of financial advice.
Earned considerably more than they ever could have done in their previous jobs and wouldn't have to worry about climbing ladders and scaffolding in the pissing rain and snow at 64 years of age.

No it's not too late, for a start you have supervisory experience which should be enough to getyou a manager's job in most organisations so no need to start at the bottom.

It all rather depends what you are thinking about doing. The main thing is to assess your strengths ( and don't limit to mechanicing e.g. you undertsand complex systems and can fix them if they are broken, this can be applied to many fields ) and see how it fits with what you want to do.

If you are feeling this way at your age then you have time to change. The important things are a) don't pack in your job until you have a stone cold offer of a new one and b) research your prospective new job to the extent that you are sure what you are getting in to otherwise you could find yourself in the same situation in a few years time.

My dad did this to us a few times and it was always a nightmare as money was very tight for a while, particularly when he left a well paying job to learn to be a teacher for 3 years, a job for which he was totally unsuited (I speak from experience having taught adults, he had absolutely none of the qualities that we were told were necessary to suceed, mind you neither did I think I had until I was forced by circumstances to have to do it and actually enjoyed it).

+!

The amount of people unemployed, would kill for your work experience and industry know-how.

As GSC said: maybe try working in the same sector at a different company?

New faces.
