I have to agree with Janet on this one.
I'm 52 and have recently started a new carreer. NOTHING is written in stone, and for anyone to truly know what they want to train for and do witht he rest of their life just seems unrealistic to me.
I've worked in so many different fields that I simply call myself a "tinker" which is where my screen name came from. I've worked as a jailor, EMT, Realtor, Insurance agent, manager in a drug/alcohol half way house; I've bred, trained and sold dogs and horses. I am currently a bank supervisor. I hope I will stay in this job until I retire, but I sure can't guarantee it. As life changes and interests change, jobs change and we need to be able to adjust accordingly.
I know many people who have degrees and don't work in their field of study at all. Rather than putting the pressure on yourself trying to decide right now, I think it might be more helpful to focus on being flexible. If you do what you love, it's NOT work... and can still be a good living.
