Mid-life career change... What would you change to?

[GFB]

I do Enterprise IT solutions.. I should have started side hustling sooner and need to have more of them. The internet can put so much at your fingertips. Also, I build **** with my hands and I've had neighbors offer to pay me to build them stuff.

If I had to completely change careers - professional poker player.

I have a friend who became a professional poker player twice and both times he got bored with it and quit.

I really miss poker. Only time I get to play now is infrequent trips to Harrah's Cherokee.

Been on unemployment since Kung flu closures but plan to use my pickup truck, trailer and lawn equipment to make a living or burn a few calories trying

Do what you enjoy and be the best at it that you can be. My wife and I quit our jobs about 5 years ago and started a detail shop. We love what we do. We focused on our craftsmanship. We now do paint corrections and ceramic coatings on high end classic cars and new vehicles. We are coating 3-5 per week at $2k per vehicle. We stay booked 3+months out. The money is outstanding and best of all it is cash.

Whatever you decide to do, be the best at it that you can. Be honest and dependable and you will succeed. It doesnt happen overnight but time flies.

Good luck with whatever you decide

If I knew it would be stable and lucrative, I’d move to the Keys and run offshore fishing charters

I have done so many different things, in the last 50 + years, that it is hard to remember it all. I have been a professional cowboy, a farmer, worker as a gas station attendant, navigation electronics technician on submarine tenders and submarines, electronics tech/missile mechanic/industrial radiographer for Lockheed, foreman of a panel building shop, system administrator/network administrator for the Naval Weapons Station at Goose Creek SC, field engineer for Datapath, fixing and designing satellite communications systems for the Army, contractor in Iraq for 4 years, setting up internet cafes over satellite for the Army and Air Force. At 59, I started a whole new career as an installation engineer for a software company, traveling all over the world setting up servers to back up industrial plcs and robots. I am in my copious spare time developing a hybrid fuel/electric rotary engine I designed and patented. (www.werepower.com) Maybe someday I will decide what I want to do when I grow up.

I get it! I left my previous employer in 2010 after 19 years, at the age of 41 with a new born son and four year old daughter. Partnered with my brother to go into a field I knew nothing about. But I had prayed about this for two solid years and had others pray for me and over me. God honored that decision and I have never regretted it one bit. The first 3-4 years were financially trying, but worth it.
