Have any of you changed your career in your 50's or older? And if so, any advice or hints?

Yep, I did. I retired after 30 years, so it may not be the same as leaving a job and looking for another. I am on my second career, though. I have hear that age can be a negative to some employers. I looks for a job that I would enjoy, not for the money. I was very lucky to get my dream job, I work at a home improvement center.... that wears red vests, not orange  Just be yourself and dress nice for any interview...I never understand how anyone can show up in jeans and a t-shirt for a job or going to court?

I don't look at my age I look at my desire and drive. I am starting a new adventure next month that will hopefully lead me to yet another adventure of making my own money my way and having a blast doing so. I say go for it. Age is just a number, attitude is a drive.

Good mornin' oldies and the goodies! As always....coffee? Hoping i don't have to go and cover at work because of the snow. It is beautiful. Also, hoping all of us will not be traveling through it over the holidays.
Wishing Everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Safe travels if you have to travel. Congratulations on your new job WinterGreenGem! Coffee? |

Hello friends. Another day down. The news is that I am working the next four days 6 am to 2. If anyone knows me they know I am so not a morning person. If you come see me at work, though, you would never know it. Smiles and niceness for everyone.
OCD kicked in today. I can't stand how dirty the store is so during breaks from the online classes I cleaned, cleaned and more cleaned. Didn't even make a dent. I'll whip it into shape! Roomie got me to drink two ounces of moonshine. WOW.
