Carnival of Careers in Middle Age #4

When reaching middle age, it's natural to question your career path. More specifically whether the career path you started on two decades ago is still the one for you today or is it time for a change? But changing careers midlife is a significant step and involves a multitude of risk factors. To help your exploration of this topic we have created the "Carnival of Careers in Middle Age."

This post is an open "carnival" whereby bloggers have been given the opportunity to submit stories that are in some way related to career issues in middle age. We'll kick it off with our own contribution "How to Avoid Being Outsourced, Disintermediated or Made Obsolete; Top 7 Macroeconomic Trends to Know." This post was written for LifeTwo by futurist David Houle.

We also suggest that all midlife job seekers consult our "Midlife Career Change FAQ", a resource-intensive post on all aspects of changing careers in middle age.

The following posts were submitted by third party bloggers and we encourage you to check out their posts as well as poke around their blogs. Their appearance in this carnival means that they are out promoting their blogs and worthy of our support.
