Recently my sister was in the hospital getting an electrocardiogram. I was in the room while it was done. The tech doing the test was a friendly guy so I started a conversation with him. Turns out he was a geologist at one time. That job was good for a long time but things started to go down hill. He decided he had to find another skill to pay the bills. He went to school for 6 months to become an EKG technician. Now he works in a hospital and is very busy. It was a good career change for him. And he was in his 50s.
Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story! It’s a perfect example of how someone in their 50s can successfully pivot to a completely new field with determination and the right training. It’s amazing how he leveraged a short-term program to transition into a stable and fulfilling career. Stories like these really drive home the message that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself. If you don’t mind, I’d love to share this example in future content to inspire others!!
Great question! Starting a music group could definitely be a fulfilling creative reinvention, though it might not always be the most lucrative option. 😊 The guitar is a bit of a relic from my past-proof that our career paths (and hobbies) can take us in unexpected directions! Thanks for noticing, and I’ll have to check out your channel for some guitar pick inspiration!
That's wonderful to hear! With your background it sounds like the perfect thing for you. I'm sure that with your experience as a teacher and that M.A. you'd definitely make you a fantastic tutor. Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
You're absolutely right-skills are key! Knowing your transferable skills and how they apply to different roles is essential. It’s also important to stay informed about what skills employers are currently looking for and to be proactive about learning new ones to stay competitive. With the right approach, your skills can truly become your superpower in overcoming age-related biases. Thanks for highlighting this!
59 and looking for a full time job to support myself. Age discrimination is real. Been looking for 2 months. Right hand is crippled so type with one hand. No degree and I’m about to be homeless.
I’m really sorry to hear about your situation. It’s tough out there, but don’t lose hope. There are resources and support systems that can help you find some opportunities tailored to your needs.

Is starting a music group a lucrative option? I see the guitar in the background 🙂

if you have "know people" skills then you are good to go, otherwise security. make sure you have wifi there
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You're spot on about people skills being essential, and I couldn't agree more about the WiFi!
Thanks. I'm a retired teacher with an M.A. I've been thinking about tutoring.

Ageism seems like the last legal discrimination
You're absolutely right! Ageism seems to be a pervasive issue. And, it often gets overlooked in many discussions about equality and discrimination.
@@MidlifeReinventskills far outweigh ageism.
