Hi!! I am a 29 / male. Have been into share trading till recently. I want to change my field now. I want to study further. But, by the time I complete my studies I will be 31. Is a person employable (as a fresher , coz' I am switching career) at the age of 31? Also I've zeroed in on Retail / Real Estate / Beautician and hair dresser courses, could you please suggest which one would be the best suitable for me and also offers the best prospects. I would be really thankful if you could kindly help me arrive at the final choice, given my age. Also suggest if it is even OK to consider education at this age. Kindly help. I badly need your help....Thank you

Stop. what is your educational qualification at present? I f you can find a decent enough job right now ( 29yrs ) stick on to that job, experience in that feild. Coz 31 is a bit late to start with any new career.my advise is just continue with your present job share trading is a decent one i suppose or if you really feel to change line, choose one and go ahead immediately.. cheer up man ...

Age thirty-one is hardly a disadvantage to someone in sales. In fact it can be rather hard for someone in thier 20's to seem credible and knowledgeable in area's of commerce, sales like real estate and marketing financial products.
Marketing is still one of the best income producers available. I would suggest that at 31 you can dream big and are in the prime earning period of you life. Go to school and do it or you way always regret that you did not try.

It sounds like you have to first figure out what brings you happiness. I don't know anything about the other options you listed except for being a hairstylist. IF you go that route make sure you realize you get out of the course what you put into it. Don't expect to walk out of school with your license and be a real pro. It takes practice and ALOT of it. You won't make your millions, thousands or even hundreds until you establish clientele. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

You are still young and have lots of decisions to make. I suggest that you try to zero in on one area and go for it. You are very employable at the age of 31. Don't jump from one thing to another; decide what you really love to do and get the education you need for that. Follow your bliss!

Really no one can tell you what life decision is best for yourself (Only "YOU" can do that)! But, What I CAN tell you is that it is "NEVER" too late to go back to school. I Know, I know - - - You feel old at 31, but "I" am 44 & still plugging away. NEVER give up! Think of where you will be in 5 years from now if you do NOT re-educate yourself. I wish you all the best! I do!

Although this question is in the wrong catagory, you will never be too old to learn new things. If you are healthy and lucky you still have 30-35 years of work ahead of you. It is too soon to start worrying about your age.

OF COURSE you can consider education...good god, you're only 29...it's not like you're 75 or anything...
i'm 25, and i've been thinking about real estate...but right now i don't have the income to pay for my schooling...
all of your choices have great opportunities, and the ability to meet thousands of people. you just have to choose the one that's best for you.
good luck

retail will give you a lot of options, but really work with what you like doing! there is no use starting a carrer you don't like. No, it's never to late to become a teacher. I am studying to become one!
