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

[alnen]

I'm just curious. I've lost my passion for my field and have grown to resent it. Looking to hit the reset button. I won't set limitations on suggestions so that someone else may benefit who is not in my exact shoes.

Going back to school is ok to achieve the goal.

The two things I'd rather do, don't pay enough to survive. Teacher or Forest ranger.
Go to law school and practice real estate law.

If I was single and my body didnt already hurt every day, Id move to Canada and fell me some timber. Thats just one of my dreams.

And if I was young enough and single, I'd enlist.

Most of what I'd want to do now would be a significant pay cut. Or I'd have to start fresh and work my way back up again. Too old for that and I have a family now. But if I was young and single I'd hit that restart button in a heartbeat.

What is your field?

I've changed where I work three times.... I love what I do, it's who I worked for/with that made it rough.

If you're that burned out then move, not just to another job, but to another region of the country.

My Brother Nelson, went back to School for X-Ray Technician. He got a good job the day after he graduated. Once, he learns everything about his job, he's going to start a Mobile Cat-Scan business, since our population is living longer, He lives in Alaska. He's a real people person. What ever you choose make sure it makes you happy!
