I m 32 years old and can't decide what to do in my career ?

Question

I wanted to learn a new skills.

Answer 1

I've always heard to make a living doing what you like. Make a business out of a hobby that is your passion. Do something that makes you enjoy waking up and going to work. If it's going to be for a long time, make sure you're happy doing it.

Answer 2

Forget new skills at age 32. You will be in the same rank as the person coming out of college at 22.

Try and get into your state government. Good steady job, room for growth, testing for advancement, etc. You can work for 25+ years and retire.

Unless you go into business for yourself, don't risk changing careers. Entry level jobs will not pay enough for your experience.

Answer 3

Statistics show that people change careers several times in their lifetimes. It's pretty normal.

But some "Word to the Wise"...stay in a career that has a retirement plan! It comes way too fast and Social Security is some pretty "slim" living. I know, I am a new retiree with no retirement program to fall back on. You might think it's a long ways away, but it creeps up faster than you know! Good Luck and have fun!

Answer 4

I'm sure you know this but the internet is the going thing. Marketing, selling and web design are pretty hot. I think there is more to be made in the selling/marketing than the design.

Just about every site you visit online is selling something. You may consider this if you have an interest in such things.

Answer 5

It's pretty simple really, when you think about it. I did it in 2003 and haven't regretted my change of career. Here's how I figured out what I wanted to do: I asked myself one question:

If there were absolutely no obstacles in my path, money was no object or anything else for that matter, what would I do with the rest of my life...

Ask yourself that question and go for it.

Answer 6

Well at this point, you need to make a decision and make it quick. That thinking was for people of the age after high school and midway through college.

It's not too late though. Just think about what you are interested in (Even slightly interested in) and try to perfect yourself at it.

Answer 7

Better decide soon, because most employers want young sprouts, not old fogies.The older you get, the harder it is to find a job, regardless of what your skills are.

Answer 8

Wowzers! Golly gee willikers, I was in an identical situation a little while back. Unfortunately, I still reside in my mother's basement. I suggest that you try to acquire a larger social status. Perhaps attempt to join a local chess team, as i started a local chess club my self. Despite my living predicament, don't hesitate to use my advice. I'm a very hip fella in my town!

Answer 9

Hi, do u think that age can stop u from doing what u want . just decide and go on, sometimes people get confused about what they want to do , but later on, after few pushes forwards, everything will be clear and new life gets started. it is my own experience. if u want to play on guitar, go on.

Have a look at your experience, knowledge and skills to date. These are normally transferable between different roles. Where were you happiest. Search irishjobs.ie or monster.ie for ideas if you are Irish.
