Changing Careers
I fit right into this midlife of career changing. It was not by intention but by fate.
I divorced my spouse after 25 years and was working full time as a federal worker. But with change also came no job/career. I moved out of the state to another state and just could not get a job within the same system. Therefore I decided to turn my career around by starting college. It has been about a year since I have been without a job, but going to class and learning new things and new ways to learn has been more rewarding than any job I have ever had. I had been working for the government for over 20 years and for the life of me was a bit upset when I couldn't get back into that system. Not any more, because I am happy to be doing exactly what I am doing right now. I can count my blessings each and every day.
