28 year old too late to start a new career?

[paris332]

Being furloughed has given me a reality check. I've been a makeup artist for 8 years now. My true passion is animal care and I regret not going to uni to do a vet nurse course. I've had time to research courses, it will take a few years, I have a chunk of money saved which was meant to be for a house as I'm still at home. However, am I too old now to start a serious career change? I want to have children too. DP encourages me to go for it and we'll worry about buying a house later, he just wants me to be happy. IDK what to do?

Pleeease do it! I remember feeling too old for anything at 28 but gosh it’s still so young. I’m 37 and hoping to retrain once my youngest child starts school, so I hope you aren’t too old cos that means I’m well past it...

Agree with everyone who's posted - 100% go for it! I worked a good number of years before I actually acknowledged, to myself, I had made the wrong choice from the 2 final options. If I had trained in the other profession - I would be retired with an excellent pension.

I was 39

Defo not too old. Could you do freelance make up work on weekends to help you financially?

I am 36 and I have just decided to work online and go and live in South America until i am 40.

You can do anything! You are not chained to one job, or to one country

40 and using lockdown to train teach english!
