Some of us will end-up their professional life doing the same things and using the same general profession. This group include both those that enjoy their work and those that are not. Another group of people will change their profession during their lifetime. This group includes those that are doing it out of their will and those that are not (forced to make a change). Which side are you, and should it matter?
The 'middleage crisis' is a phenomena that strikes most people around the age of 40. I believe that the crisis appears as part of an acceptance process that cause each one of us to better understand what he/she can achieve out of life and what we can. Until that point, we might have had big expectations that were not fully fulfilled. From that point and into the future, we will be more moderate with our expectations and this process causes a mental shock to most of us.
Some may deal with it by changing their desires, some may become more realistic and others may become more hungry and more directed, whatever side you are, you might also choose to completely change a course in your life and start a new career.
I believe that I'm currently waiting in front of a red light, looking for the green light to come and still not sure where should I go in that junction of life. This might be only a methodological halt afterwhich I will continue strait ahead with the same course, however, I can turn left or right, and even make a U turn. One of the most bothering issue in building a career is the fact that at the end of the day you need the money to make a living. This bothering ingredient cause most of us to stay at a job that does not interest us any more, just for the sake of having the safety net ready for a bad day. This is an existing dilemma and there is no single recipe to solve it.
More to come later - Changing the course is a real challenge
