I’ve made mostly bad decisions but a few key ones I got right. Feels odd to be nearing thirty and considering a complete 180 in terms of career. So much changed and the entertainment industry is eating my soul. Whatever it produces is unhealthy and I don’t want to be part of feeding the next generations this poison.

Any of you started a career at thirty or later? I’d love to hear from this community.

When I was 31 I left a successful Electrical Engineering job to buy and run a motorcycle/ATV dealership with my husband. I taught myself accounting so I could do the books. I've loved it. It is a lot of work, but I also have had the flexibility to homeschool my kids which I wouldn't have been able to do if I had stayed in my old job.

I have put in 8 years with my current company but I'm looking to start a farm, and do some garden coaching. I'm turning 35 next month. Sounds like we're in similar boats. Good luck to you!

That sounds lovely. Have you been doing something related to that type of work or just diving in?

I've kept a garden many years and I have a house full of houseplants, other than that no formal degree in horticulture or work on a farm. My opinion is that for millennia people didn't need a degree to work with plants, and in our modern era with access to the internet we have the ability to learn pretty much anything we need almost at a moments notice.

Right on. Thanks for taking the time to share.

30 is great for starting something new!

I spent 12 years as an aircraft mechanic in the US Air Force. At 33 I left active duty and now I'm a 35 year old senior in college getting an accounting degree with an internship/part-time job at an aerospace training company.

Wow, that sounds like a trip. What brought your decision about? Physical strain, options?

I got deployed three months after my daughter was born. That was enough of that. Totally changed my priorities and tried a couple of things in the civilian side and decided going back to school was a good idea. From there I found myself interested in accounting of all things, lol. Life is too short to suffer through bs just because of a decision you made when you were young!

That’s inspiring. I can see how that event would trigger something in your brain. Just a gut feeling about accounting? I’m torn between engineering and programming.
