midlife career changes

Different strokes for different folks. It's clear you don't like working in an office and the good news is that there the choices of careers that don't involve sitting behind a desk is limitless. Yes, you made a mistake going back to the office but c'est la vie. Your husband, parents and neighbors aren't the ones unhappy at the office everyday. While I'm sure you value their input, in the end it is your choice. You have a right to be happy and an obligation (to yourself) to find a career that matches who you are as a person. Since they all want you to "settle down" they should all support your decision to find a career that fits you because until then you won't be able to settle down. Spending the next 25 years unhappy is not an option.

Check out our midlife career FAQ and there might be some resources useful for you.

Well that's my opinion at least.
