Did you make a mid-life career change?

You could say that.
Actually i ran away

I found my place at 39, after a couple decads in the industry, deciding which application of my skills suited me best. Turns out building bridges is far more profitable then residential buildings, or typical commercial building.

I have made many career changes. Just could never find what I would consider fulfilling. I have slowly been taking steps towards my own business type thing and just doing what I enjoy and will slowly be expanding on that till I dont need my other jobs

Yes but i found my calling

im actually about to. someone give me some advice pls

I have to. It’s difficult.

not mid life. late twenties my depression had totally consumed me. i was drinking to be numb, dangerously suicidal and totally despondent. some reason i was aware what was happening to me. i quit my corporate job, quicky (expensive) divorce from a woman who didn't love me, and retrained as a millwright. it took 8 years to get back on my feet but my business started making money and was finally healthy and happy.

I'm not mid life but I've made a few and don't regret any of them
