I have been in the workforce for 25 years, professional occupation and I have quite a good CV. However I realised I was bored and decided I needed a change. I was able to take a year out to undertake a MSc and professional certification towards a different career.
I am reaching the end of my MSc so I decided to start applying for new opportunities but I am getting nowhere fast. The new occupation is not something that I would be a total and utter newbie too and I have particularly focused upon aspects that would draw upon my previous skills.
I am in my late 40s and starting to think I just wasted my time and money on this masters and I am too old to change career now. Why am I writing this? I think I would like to hear some encouraging stories or on the other hand, I am also happy to get some frank feedback if perhaps I should be sticking to what I know at this point.
