| Two friends of mine finished law school around 40, worked for other people for a bit, and then started their own practices doing trusts and estates. Before the law school, one used to be in IT and the other in investment banking. Both moms of two. |

| I was about 45 when I exited my corporate/consulting career and became the executive director of a substance abuse non profit for about 25% of the pay. I did it for almost ten years and loved it. It was the most rewarding work I ever did. Yes, it helped that my husband was successful. |

My cousin was working in Hollywood (and actually somewhat successful) but then changed to become a speech therapist in public schools. She loves it, and her acting experience is very helpful. |

| I started my own business at age 50. Probably should have stayed at my day job, though. It was easier and paid more. |

| Left research to be a SAHM at 46. Not the right choice for my career but the thing my family needed. Going to try my hand at screenwriting once the kids are in school. |
