Changing Jobs Mid Life

You've heard of the "Forty Under 40" Lists, but what about the "Forty Over 40"? When is it too late to change careers, start a side hustle or reenter the work force after time with the kids?

In this episode, host, Dr. Rupa Wong discusses that it never is too late. She uses these famous examples to illustrate

• Vera Wang was 40 when she opened her first bridal salon in New York
• Julia Child wrote her first cookbook at the age of 50
• Tina Turner achieved her first and only #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the age of 45 (It was "What's Love Got to Do with It")

3 reasons why women are perfectly poised to make these transitions later in life:

1. Connections and networking

2. Life experience and a thorough knowledge of who we are and our core values

3. Transferrable skills

 

She also discusses the 3 things you should make sure to do if contemplating making a career transition mid life.

1. Recognize Impostor Syndrome is real

2. Find a mentor

3. Have a contingency plan
