It kinda depresses me.

I'm a career changer.

Anyone in the same boat?

No, just in the boat of trying to get a graduate position as a mid-20s recent graduate and getting turned down because there are people with more experience

Ooh what profession? I'm in my mid 30s and would love be brave enough to change career. Good luck!

Why the downer? You've got another 30 years of working life in you, who can blame you for changing direction?

At 39 you'll have loads of transferable skills, see it as a new adventure!
