Hope all is going well for you. Sounds like you are/were considering a career change? Me too. The problem is, the thing I believe I was put on Earth to do is almost impossible to monetize. So what am I supposed to do--crawl under a rock and die? When we were kids, women our mothers' age went back to school and/or built second careers, but that doesn't seem to be encouraged as much lately. (Maybe the boomers who now run things don't want a new crop of midlifers competing with their own twentysomething kids for the few available jobs.) I don't know...the "right" answer can't be giving up--CAN it?
Is there any way we could talk further? Not for any practical purpose (and no, I'm not selling a pyramid scheme)--just to share ideas? The people I know in daily life just don't "get" me. Is this a forum for people like us? (Is there any way to just live on the internet 24-7? If only!)
