AIBU to consider a career change at 42 years old which will require 2 years of retraining first? I've always done jobs just to pay the bills and now I want to have a career in something which I actually enjoy. I've volunteered for a few months to make sure I do want to do it and I've had more job satisfaction in 2 months than I ever had. I'm just worried that I'm getting too old to retrain then apply for jobs after when I'll be 44.
