Hi @Bklyngirl1962! 😊 Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that my videos have helped boost your confidence to pursue a new career in phlebotomy. It’s really inspiring to see you take this step, and having a supportive group of nurse friends is such a blessing. I can’t wait to hear about your journey as you start your classes in January 2025. You’ve got this! Cheering for you every step of the way!
So glad I found you. Many channels out there on this subject just graze the surface. I'm pushing 60 and have been a property manager for decades, just phoning it in at this point. The job had it's heyday but the past four years I've been working hard on two new careers and am only able to make side money. It's a frustrating time now especially with the job market in a tough place. Luckily the two new careers I'm building do not have an age limit.
Thank you for stopping by! And, thanks for sharing your journey! I really like hearing that folks in our age bracket are exploring new careers. I'm a firm believer that, it's never too late to reinvent yourself. And, I'm sure your years of experience as a property manager will be a great asset in your new ventures. Keep us posted!
Hello. I'm 63 years young and considering a career change. I work as a handyman in New York. I have zero passion for the job. I've always prided myself for doing a good job no matter what it was but now I'm just going through the motions. I've subscribed to your channel and could really use some insight. Thanks
Hey, thank you for subscribing! I know what it's like when you really need a change. I hope that I can provide a bit of inspiration to help you along your journey. You're never too old to pursue a new career!
Thank you for sharing your story! It’s inspiring to see someone take such a big step in their career. Wishing you all the best in your final months before retirement!
Hi, I'm 61, retired from our local papermill 2 yrs ago and sold our small cleaning company last year and though I'm drawing a pension, I would like to do something interesting to make some extra money for fun. I'm thinking of getting into real estate sales. I enjoyed dealing with people. Thanks for sharing.
I am 53. I plan to change careers at 60. I plan on going into the medical field (MRI tech school). My thoughts are that when you work in the medical field no cares how old you are. In fact none of my patients will know that I am new to the field unless I tell them.
Thank you for sharing your journey! It's so encouraging to see someone embrace change and strive for new opportunities. Wishing you all the success in your future career!
It hurts and they do not care if it shames. 3:05 Transition will be tough. What can we learn from the experience? When i accepted its direction, i steadied myself to move along financially and mentally.
Nearly 61 here and I have an interview on Tuesday for yet another career change. Worked 27 years in my previous job and realised I was just sleepwalking to my grave and with no ambition apart from taking a pay check. My last job was a complete change from the previous 27 years - designing and creating interactive learning packages and e-learns but I got requested into a new department where I have been twiddling my thumbs in frustration. Too young to retire and too old to put up with that type of nonsense so I applied for yet another career change which takes me back to my first sentence.
I'm happy to hear that you're taking charge of your career. I can honestly relate to your statement "too young to retire and too old to put up with that type of nonsense". I really want to encourage you to keep pursuing what truly fits you the best and fulfills you. Best of luck with your interview on Tuesday!
Did you get it through referral or online application? Just curious. In a job, I hate and want to make a change. Not great at networking. Introverted to the max.
I went to Flexjobs and completed the online application. I truly understand about needing to make a change and being an introvert as well. .Good luck with the job hunt-hope you find something you actually enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by. Currently, data analysis and digital marketing fields are experiencing strong job demand. Although software development is facing a temporary slowdown, it is projected to see a 17% increase in job openings over the next decade.
Thanks for your question! I wear many hats in the data analytics field, including various types of content creation. I'm curious, what specific aspects of data analysis or technical writing are you most interested in? I might be able to point you toward some resources or future video topics that could be helpful.
Changing careers at 69 is absolutely possible! I’ve seen people reinvent themselves successfully at all ages-it’s never too late to pursue meaningful work or a fresh opportunity. The key is identifying your strengths, leveraging your experience, and focusing on roles or industries that align with your skills and interests. If you’d like, feel free to share more about what you’re considering-I’d be happy to offer some advice or point you to a resource that might help!

Wow congrats I'm glad you persevered
Thank you so much! It was definitely a bit of a rollercoaster, but it was worth it.

Having you train the person that took the position that should’ve been yours is crazy
Yeah, that was definitely the "tipping point" and ultimately launched me into an entirely new career. :-)
Standard operating procedure for most companies now, scumbags
It hurts and they do not care if it shames. 3:05 Transition will be tough. What can we learn from the experience? When i accepted its direction, i steadied myself to move along financially and mentally.
Interesting video. I’ve worked in your new industry most of my life and have worn all hats in software.
Yet I can’t buy an interview
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you for watching. I hope you found it encouraging and helpful!

@@MidlifeReinvent ok. Thanks for the info. Glad to hear you can get a job without a referral. I will definitely check out this site. Have a great day!
In which field this news job? Software development, data analyst or digital marketing or something else?
Thanks for stopping by. Currently, data analysis and digital marketing fields are experiencing strong job demand. Although software development is facing a temporary slowdown, it is projected to see a 17% increase in job openings over the next decade.
@@MidlifeReinvent so are you a data analyst using python numpy etc or technical writer only?
