Amen to that ! I did a career change at 48 ; from professor to Seminary student (for 3 years) to clergyman. I'ts been a great change. The university is a real rat race and stress factory .
so; go for it ; do what you've always dreamed of doing. Believe me, if I could do it; so can you

I am an x-ray tech (18 yrs) and took a hiatus to start a company with my wife. We started a promotional products/advertising business. Gotta tell you, business is pretty good. With the economic slowdown, companies are advertising just as much as ever. Not that I want to add competetion. lol
It's a lot of outside sales and my wife does production and the financial stuff which bores me to tears. I still work 3 nights a week at a small hospital just to keep my skills up and my x-ray license active. Hopefully, our company will be generating enough revenue in a couple of more years that I can quit the hospital. -

Update on the career change...Today is the last day at the pest control company I work for. My boss was very cool about it and actually asked me to keep my cards and what marketing materials I have and if I wanted to work part time I was welcome to.
Starting Monday in the timeshare business. I have a SLY friend who has been in this for sometime and even in the economic downturn there does not appear to be a lack of people who want to buy timeshares here in Myrtle Beach. -

All the best on the new career venture. Myrtle Beach is one of my favorite places, having grown up in central North Carolina. I still go back there every now and then. My sister lived there a few years ago and worked in advertising sales. Made a good living at it. You seem like a real people person. You should do real well.

Congratulations on this buddy. I hope you do well. You seem to have a positive outlook so that is half the battle.
I wish I had friends like that who are successful. Everyone I know is either working for someone (and unhappy) or unemployed. I know one guy (not extremely well) who is doing well and I tried to network with him about a job but he blew me off completely. -

Hammer, congrats on the new job! Timeshares is actually one of the fastest growing segments of the hospitality industry in warm-weather areas. Good luck - you'll be fine!
